There is nothing better than the feeling of knowing you helped someone to feel that amazing sense of ability, and hopefully raised their self-esteem and self-sufficiency in the process!

Hobbies
This is my first semester at Southern Utah University, as I started out at Western Wyoming Community College for 2 years where I was a member of the volleyball team. I love sports, particularly volleyball, but also soccer, basketball, and speed-skating. I am also a movie nerd, and I especially love any comic-book movie, especially The Avengers! I have two younger brothers at home in Ogden, UT and a border collie who is my best buddy. As weird as it is, I LOVE editing papers, and not to brag, but I am pretty good at it. I just love being able to help someone organize their thoughts in a way that makes sense but still retains their unique voice and ideas.
