ABOUT ME:

I am a hoosier born girl from Indiana, which is most likely the culprit of my love for large quantities of Orville Redenbacher popcorn.  I am a junior at the University of Utah and an applicant for a Bachelors of Science in strategic communication.

Having lived at the base of Mt. Olympus in Salt Lake City for most of my life I enjoy being outside specifically in running, hiking or biking in the mountains. To this day my claim to fame would probably be that I completed the Layton City Marathon in 2010.

When I was 18 years old I spent time abroad, doing humanitarian work in Peru.  This experience helped me realize  the potential within each of us to make a difference. When I graduate in December 2013 I hope to work within the non-profit sector in a public relations.  I can’t think of a better career option than one that primarily focuses on the promotion of a group that is trying to make a difference. As Helen Keller once said, “I am only one but still I am one.  I cannot do everything but I can do something…” With my degree I hope to find that something I can do.
