A 17-year-old graduated from university with an enormous accomplishment -- earning a doctoral degree.
TEMPE, Ariz. - she was homeschooled before entering college at 10 years old. In 2020, she earned a Master of Science degree, and one year later she was accepted into the Doctorate of Behavioral Health Management program at Arizona State University -- all at 15 years old.
"She really led change and worked on different forms of management to really reduce healthcare stigma and improve that student population there to be able to enter and accept student health services," Manson said about Tillman. "It was wonderful to see her and help her navigate some of those personal and professional interactions and grow through those experiences.""It's a wonderful celebration... but this is still something so rare and unique," she said.
"Seeing my mother consistently work so hard to continuously uphold our family legacy, and be that person that everyone was able to go to, if they needed anything... always seeing like 'wonder woman' definitely made me want to grow up an accomplished person," she said."I feel like adding art and putting a focus on it throughout science, technology, engineering and math makes the kids excited to learn all those things," she said.
"I'm really grateful that the world is my oyster, and that I've done so much so young," she said. "And I have time to kind of think that through."
