Why I love working here:
Working at BYU allows me to live my passions: the gospel of Jesus Christ, life and career design, professional development, and to positively influence the lives of others. Being a part of students' stories is a privilege as they prepare to go forth and serve their communities.
Quote I live by:
"Opportunities don't happen. You create them." - Chris Grosser
Advice for Students:
First, don't stress about figuring out your entire life. Make a plan but be open to other opportunities as you embrace the Lord's timing. Second, get out of your comfort zone and be intentional. Even when you're a freshman or sophomore, take time to connect with faculty members, schedule informational interviews, volunteer with an organization, participate in multiple internships, and utilize campus resources.
Favorite BYU Ice Cream Flavor:
Graham Canyon
What I love doing when I’m not at work:
My happy place is with my family and friends, in the backyard, playing with my dog. I also enjoy gardening, woodworking, and DIY house projects.
