WHY
At peak lockdown during the pandemic, I found myself discontent with where I was and where I was headed. By no means was I making poor decisions, but I wasn't making the right ones either. I knew that I needed to shift my focus because what I was doing at the time just wasn't cutting it. Since then I have restructured my priorities. I am now more eager to become engaged in activities that provide value to those around me. I truly want to build my community.
HOW
Always looking for opportunities to grow, I have volunteered with the Red Cross, local school systems, Blue Ribbon Mentor-Advocate, and International Volunteer HQ. I dedicated two years to serving an ecclesiastical mission in Mexico City. Every experience has been an opportunity to grow and learn something new. Recognizing this, I embrace challenges and opportunities that will remove me from my comfort zone. One such experience include my current work selling pest control door-to-door; there is no telling what is on the other side of each door. Another experience includes my education. In 2021, I graduated from Brigham Young University with a major in Physiology and Developmental Biology and a minor in Chemistry. That pushed me. Now I am enrolled at the top pharmacy school in the nation at the University of North Carolina's Eshelman School of Pharmacy.
WHAT
Huntsville, AL is where I was born, but Rigby, ID is where I call home. My family relocated to Idaho when I was 10. There I developed friendships that could not have been cultivated anywhere else. After graduating from high school, I worked in construction for a year between projects in North Carolina and South Carolina before leaving on a two year mission to Mexico City. Upon my return, I threw myself into school at Utah State University until I transferred to Brigham Young University. After graduating from BYU, I made my way back to North Carolina in the fall of 2022 to start the four year PharmD program at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy.
