Biography

Originally from Eagle Mountain, UT, I learned Spanish on my mission in Northern Virginia where I interacted with people from nearly every Spanish-speaking country. Since then, I have fostered a deep love for Latin America, Spanish, and the culture that surrounds it through my studies at BYU. Outside of academics, I love to travel, play guitar, visit museums, and spend time outside.
