My name is Alexandria Sartain, and I am a first year graduate student. I have already learned new skills sets and made novice connections in such a short time in the program. I am eager to learn even more from the wonderful professors helping guide me through my master’s degree. I am originally from Hillsboro, TN, and I look forward to moving to East Tennessee this summer! My goal is to graduate next May then hopefully continue on with my education.

Starting out at a community college I had no idea what i wanted to do, then Intro of Sociology really piqued my interest. From there I transferred to ETSU and fell in love with the department and faculty. I am interested in gender, sexuality, the heavy metal subculture, and social aspects of video games.
