I'm the fourth of seven children, and I love to read (primarily contemporary literary fiction and long-form journalism), write and watch films at the International Cinema. I was born in Madison, Wisconsin and spent a few years in California as a young child, but the only place I've ever called home is Purcellville, Virginia, a small but growing town about an hour outside of Washington D.C.

What’s one item on your bucket list?

Doing a Grand Train Tour of Switzerland

What’s the best-kept secret at BYU? Why?

The Pesto macaroni and cheese at the MOA cafe

What is something you can never be found without?

A book. I'm big on deliberate reading, which just means that I like to keep track of what I've read, what I thought about it and what I'd like to read in the future. Feel free to follow me on Goodreads--I'm always looking to poach books from others' to-read lists.

Why did you decide to join the Honors Program?

Because of the thesis requirement and in order to make my undergraduate experience maximally rigorous and meaningful.

What has been your favorite Honors experience?

Definitely Honors 290R (Probability in Physics & Literature)

What is your next step in Honors?

I'm currently in Honors 310 and Honors 320, and will complete my Leadership Development Experience in France over the summer.
