I was born and raised in Utah. I grew up and went to school in West Valley City. My high school was very diverse and I’m grateful for that because I was able to befriend people with many different cultural backgrounds. I am very passionate about the environment and recycling. I hope to someday start a charity that will help different countries who don’t have to means for proper waste management and recycling. I love animals and being outdoors in nature.

One of my passions is traveling. I have traveled a lot to many different countries. I lived in Austria for a summer as a nanny. While I was there I traveled to Germany, France, and Switzerland. Last year I went on a volunteer trip to Thailand and helped at an animal welfare center. Being immersed in different countries and cultures has made me gain a respect for these different cultures. I love learning about their traditions and ways of life. Traveling to these different countries has taught me so much about myself and just life in general. It puts a lot of things into perspective.

A big hobby of mine has always been dance. I’ve been dancing ever since I was a young girl. I was on the drill team in high school which pretty much consumed my life for 3 years. I also danced at SUU on their dance team. Dance helped me to be able to express myself with out using words. It has always been a natural stress reliever in my life.
