Hobbies:​

• I absolutely love nature and doing anything outside, such as camping, fishing, hiking, and stargazing. The world around us is so incredible, and there is always something to go see and enjoy.
  
• One of my favorite things to do is travel with my family and friends. I am grateful to have a group who loves to see the world as much as I do! 
• I love reading any genre of books!

Personal:

Hi! I was born and raised in Southern Utah, Hurricane to be exact. After graduating from high school I moved up to Cedar City to attend Southern Utah University. I fell in love with Cedar and decided to stay here in Southern Utah for longer than I thought! Eventually I want to continue my education and get my Master's degree to continue to help others with their health and wellness. I love to travel and spend a lot of time in nature. I love my friends who love to go on adventures with me, and I'm always down to do something fun!

Why I chose prevention:

Before working in prevention, I had a lot of opportunities to work in the community and help others. My dad works in the drugs and alcohol unit for the state, so I have grown up hearing about the dangers of substance abuse and underage drinking. When I saw this position, I knew I needed to apply because it works perfectly with my personality and history. I am so excited to continue to learn more about prevention and working closely with this great community.
