About Me

Hi, my name is Jacie Specht, I am 20 years old marketing major from Pennsylvania. I graduated from a private boarding school in 2009. My senior year of high school I applied to a total of 12 schools, I was accepted into 9 of those schools. My decision was tied between Temple, Drexel and JMU. In the end, I knew JMU was the right fit for me and my worries or doubts were resolved when I visited the campus. In the summer of 2009 I decided after enrolling in JMU, that I needed to take a "gap year" also known as a year off. It was the best decision I have ever made and that is why I consider myself an "older freshman." I have many interests and hobbies; including my friends and family, volunteering, music and singing, sports, and having fun. My goal here at JMU is to find and figure out where I'm headed in my life, make life long friendships, learn life lessons and find the "right" career and purpose for me.
