About Me
Hometown: Salt Lake City, Utah.
A class that changed your life: My study abroad course in Beijing, China during the frenetic bustle of the 2008 Summer Olympics. In many ways, it gave me a front-row view on the changing global landscape and caused me to consider deeply my place in it.
Favorite quote: "Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself." Alan Alda
Best college experience: Taking a final bow at the end of my senior recital at CCM. Not everything went perfectly by any means, but I was really proud of the result of many years of dedicated work which culminated in that single hour-long performance.
One piece of advice: Dream as big as you can, break it down and set goals accordingly, then buy a day-planner and fill it up with activities that minute-by-minute lead to fulfilling those dreams. It's really simple and unimaginably effective.
Favorite movie: Inception
