About

I am currently an undergraduate student studying history at Brigham Young University. I come from a small town in northern Utah and I am the oldest of 4 children. I'm very passionate about what I'm studying and I want to go on to law school after I finish my undergraduate degree next April. I work hard in all aspects of my life to reach my fullest potential.

Goals and interests

Career goal

After I finish my undergraduate degree I want to go on to law school. The types of law that I am most interested in practicing are constitutional law, immigration law, or family law.

Graduate school interests

I want to go on to law school after I finish my bachelor's degree. My goal is to attend a law school where I can complete a master's degree in history while I am in law school.

Outside the classroom

I love to read, hike, camp, and watch movies. I also love to run and ran on the Varsity Cross Country team my Sophomore, Junior, and Senior year of high school. I also love to dance and am currently a member of a local ballet company. As nerdy as it sounds I also love keeping up with the news and subscribe to multiple news networks including Fox News, CNN, The Blaze, and the New York Times.
