Briefly tell us about yourself and your passions:
I am passionate about health equity and the changes that individuals and systems can make to promote health and wellness. I'm so happy and content to live with my husband and my cat. I love my job as a personal trainer; I work both at a chiropractor and on campus for BYUMove! where I get to empower people with movement. I'm excited to have more time to paint and read when I graduate. My favorite personal title is "Aunt" Destiny; graduation also brings the prospect of working full time and maybe having more money to spend on my nieces and nephews.

Freshman year (2018) Harry Potter murder mystery

What is your next step in Honors?
