Different cultures and languages ...sparked my interest in my field
I’m currently reading... Leadership and Self Deception
My advice to graduating seniors is… make your education count not only for making money but for making a difference in other people’s lives
The best-kept BYU secret is… going on Study Abroad because you learn so many things that are impossible to learn sitting in a classroom

On Saturday mornings you’ll find me... singing and dancing to Latin music while I do weekly chores
One item on my bucket list is… to go to Antarctica
