I grew up in Orem, Utah, and I've never been great at sitting still.

Skiing in the winter, ultimate frisbee in the summer, twenty-hour dance weeks, and a Blender tutorial at age ten that turned into a lasting hobby. These days I'm an aspiring Information Systems student at Brigham Young University, working toward the Marriott School of Business — and the habit hasn't changed. I show up fully wherever I land, whether that's a ballroom competition floor or a Spanish-speaking mission in Atlanta.

Years of training with coaches from Poland, Russia, Italy, and Canada taught me as much about discipline and cross-cultural communication as any classroom has. So did the traveling I can't seem to stop doing: Egypt, Greece, Israel, France, Italy, England, and a humanitarian trip to Guatemala. What ties it all together is that I care about building systems — and relationships — that actually serve people.
