About

I am a lifelong learner with a strong passion for both education and personal development. I graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA and earned my Bachelor of Science in Marriage and Human Services from Brigham Young University with a 3.68 GPA. I have spent the past eight years working in Human Resources, where I have developed a deep appreciation for supporting individuals and fostering positive workplace environments. I genuinely enjoy learning and am always seeking opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.

Goals and interests

Career goal: I would love to build a career that combines entrepreneurship with research in psychology. I’m especially drawn to exploring under-researched topics and developing them into full, evidence-based studies. The process of asking meaningful questions, designing research, and carrying a project through to completion is something I find deeply fulfilling.
Graduate school interests: Walden University, California coast University, Grand Canyon University, Capella University and more.
Outside the classroom: In my free time, I enjoy researching topics related to business and psychology, often exploring new ideas through academic readings. I have a genuine passion for learning and frequently spend my free time studying or expanding my knowledge. I also enjoy creative writing and have written and published four books on Amazon, with additional projects currently in progress.
