A graduate of Brigham Young University with a degree in Public Relations, I enjoyed opportunities right after college working as a scheduler in the Washington D.C. offices of Congressmen Bill Orton of Utah and Congressman Ron Kind of Wisconsin. I also worked for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in their Public Affairs Office in Washington, D.C. as a media relations specialist. As Communications Manager for the City of Vineyard, UT, the fastest growing city in Utah, I enjoy working in public relations and community engagement. I graduated in April 2022 with a master's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Southern Utah University, with an emphasis in Professional Communications and Social Media and Public Relations.
