About Me

I live in Provo UT with my husband. When I am not exploring nearby national parks or hiking, I am studying to be a nurse and I attend births as a doula and assistant midwife. I am also a writer and love to sew or make anything I can think of.
PHILOSOPHY

I hope to gain new insight and knowledge about the world around me through every experience I have. I hope to apply that knowledge to bring joy to others. I hope to always find new ways to be a better, stronger person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in a small village in Venda, South Africa for a couple weeks while I worked in a preschool and lived with host family there. That was one of the most incredible experiences i've had so far!
Also, felucca sailing on the Nile is one of my favorite travel stories
Swimming with Whale sharks in Mexico!
