Raised in Ohio and a Buckeye at heart, I work for my alma mater in Utah planning and hosting alumni events with the BYU Alumni Association. I can often be found discussing a new book, training for a distance run or researching travel deals.

I graduated from BYU with a Master's of Public Administration as well as with a Bachelor of Arts in Latin American Studies, speaking Spanish, with a minor in Communications.

My studies and love for humanitarian work began as young as eight years old when I organized a fundraising festival for cancer research in my front yard (with the help of very supportive parents), but more formally at 15 years old as a member of a youth grant awarding council for my community in rural Ohio.

These early experiences led me to adventures from building adobe stoves in the Guatemalan mountains to the offices of USAID doing international disaster relief work in Washington, D.C. Additionally, in my part-time life, I'm on the Board for non-profit Saints & Sinners Half Marathon race in Las Vegas, NV.

I have a passion for people, parties and exploring. Feel free to reach out if you want to connect, collaborate, network or have an opportunity to discuss - let's make magic happen.
