Heather Schey’s journey to a degree was driven by a desire to meet a personal milestone and a mission to help others. Inspired by her own experience with visual impairment, the 48-year old works at an Independent Living Center assisting and empowering others who are navigating their own challenges. Heather crossed the Commencement stage in 2022 with her service dog, Asher, proudly alongside her, to receive her BA in Human Services.
