ABOUT ME:

I am a junior at the University of Utah studying strategic communication and plan to graduate in spring of 2013.

After graduating from Park City High School in 2009, I volunteered at a deaf school in Ghana, West Africa for two months in the fall. When I returned I completed my freshman year of college within one semester at Utah Valley University, then transferred to the University of Utah to finish my degree. After graduation I plan to become a certified American Sign Language interpreter.

My focuses outside of earning my degree are continuing my education of the American Sign Language, staying active in the Deaf Community and my job as a teller for Park City Mountain Resort.
