About Me:

I am a senior majoring in Deaf Education. As such, I am currently learning ASL and I am a member of Signing Spartans. In addition, I am involved in a few other on-campus groups this year including, Kappa Delta Pi, where I hold the position of publicity chair. I am also the Multicultural Director on the University Activities Board, where I work with a committee on events for Global Festival and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We also plan other events that reach out to a diverse crowd, in addition to planning three late night events each semester. Our first late night event is the Dating Game on Friday September 18, which will be similar to the late 60's, early 70's game show by the same name, and I couldn't be more excited about it! For the past seven years, I have spent my summers as a summer camp counselor, where I have worked with a lot of phenominal children. At Lions Bear Lake Camp, I worked with children who were deaf, blind, and had juvenile arthritis. I have also worked for several summers atCamp Lu Lay Lea, and Camp Timbers, which is a YMCA camp. This past summer, I spent six weeks studying abroad in Ireland. During my time there, I traveled all over the country, making it to Cork, Blarney, the Cliffs of Moher, Sligo, Galway, Dublin, Belfast, Giant's Causeway, Derry, Wicklow Mountains National Park, the Aran Islands, and Dun Laougahaire. I would highly recommend study abroad to anyone who is looking into it. In my free time, I like to swim, run, waterski, snow ski, and read. I love watching Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill, and Friday Night Lights during the week. I also enjoy going to the MSU football games on Saturdays, although I was a little bit dissappointed with the outcome of the MSU vs. CMU game yesterday.
