A second act and a happy
ending
Thankfully, her story does have a
happy ending. In May, she gradu-
ated summa cum laude from
Arizona State University (ASU)
with a Bachelor of Science in In-
tegrative Health and is currently
pursuing a Master of Science in
Medical Nutrition at ASU. She’s
got a blog called “Getting Older
and Getting Better: Aging Well”
which allows her to share some
of the knowledge she’s acquired
from higher learning.
“I want to be able to help the
people that are my age,” ex-
plained Mas. “I see so many
people on Facebook being sick
and struggling. They’re not get-
ting answers from doctors or not
getting better. It seems to be as-
sumed when you’re a certain age
that things are automatically
going to fall apart as if your body
was not designed to last through-
out your entire life. I started
this blog to share the things I’ve
learned in college so maybe
people don’t have to suffer - that
they know they have choices
available.”
