I grew up in Logan, UT and graduated from Logan High School.  I am majoring in Nutrition Science at Utah State University.  From my freshman year in college I have been an Undergraduate Research Fellow and active in the USU Honors program. I have been involved in several areas of research working on projects with the USU Human Nutrition Studies Center and with the faculty in the USU Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Science Department.  In addition to my schooling and undergraduate research, I work part time as an Undergraduate Teaching Fellow. After graduation I plan to seek further opportunities in the medical field and pursue a Masters of Physician Assistant studies.
