He intends to earn an associate’s degree then transfer to either Texas Tech or the University of Texas to complete a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.
Keyghan's father, Army Staff Sergeant Michael Burns (Ret.), was injured in Iraq when an enemy rocket explosion sent shrapnel into his body, ultimately resulting in an above-the-knee left leg amputation.
