Outdoors Enthusiast
I love being outdoors! All growing up my family would constantly be doing activities outside. My love for being outside was further driven when I began participating in sports that were generally performed outdoors. More recently, I have spent a lot of time going to National Parks. My favorite hike so far has been the Narrows in Zions National Park.
Adventure Addict
Every chance I get I am going on a little adventure. I go to all kinds of places and try new things as often as I can. I began planning adventures every week freshman year. I found my college classes to be pretty stressful and found that a good break was having a change of scenery and trying new things. This stress release has followed me the past three years. Some of my more recent adventures include: trying authentic Korean food at Sam Hawk, biking down the canyon, having a picnic at Bridal Veil Falls, and hiking the Y.
Lover of Music
I have found as long as I have been alive, that I have been surrounded by music. I was fortunate in that my parents raised my siblings and me in a very musical home. I have played the cello for 10+ years and still try to play as much as I can. I participate in one of BYU's Orchestra's and am planning on playing in the pit orchestra for the Spring Opera. I love all kinds of music and am always eager to learn new styles and genres.
PhD Bound
As an accounting student at BYU, I have found that jobs are not in short supply and firms love BYU students. This is an incredible opportunity and makes it much easier getting a good job. The further I explored potential employment as an accountant the more I realized that I didn't like the life and career path. Due to this reaction, I began searching for other opportunities. That was when I began researching the life of a professor. I found myself getting excited about this career. I don't know yet if it will be the end goal for me but I do know that my pursuit of this degree is a major part of my life currently.
