I have just recently graduated, in May, with a BS in Broadcast News and a certificate in Communication. I have felt beyond blessed to had attended school at such an incredible institution. Much of which was spent in an with cameras, editing lab, in front of a camera, doing voiceovers, and producing stories with my wonderful peers in the Journalism school!
A Snippet of my life in pictures!
FAMILY
My family means a lot to me. We have been through a lot of rough times in the past couple years and are continuing to struggle with a lot of different facets of life. Things I believe God is going to begin to allow me to open up about and also heal this next year. However, everyone is so different in our family and it is never boring I can tell you that! Especially my beautiful sister and my stud little bro. Dancing is probably our favorite thing to do when it is the 3 of us. When we are all together, our favorite thing to do is bust out some means dance moves! My little brother is much more talented in that department, my sister and I just try to keep up with the lithe guy ๐
Family: Kendall, Jackson, Mom, Dad, and our stellar golden retriever Tinsel (We are fans of Christmas)
Im very proud to be apart of my sorority Chi Omega, and being able to be very fortunate serving as Philanthropy Director for the Make-A-Wish Foundation on behalf of my chapter! This last year we raised over $26,000 for the Colorado Make-A-Wish! I never saw myself as a sorority girl, but this house and these women have continued to better me and my character throughout my college career.
Here’s a picture I took of our chapter house from campus!
We also won the Powderpuff tournament this year which we are pretty proud of ๐
I also helped run and be apart of a student cable show, News Team Boulder. This picture is only a very small amount of people involved. It was quite the experience to be working with such a charismatic and hard working group! No Doubt many will be on your TVs/Producing your favorite shows/making incredible films in the future!
COPY AND PASTE THE LINK BELOW to see a story I did on the poaching of white rhinos in South Africa. I am very passionate about this topic and love that I can tell what people are doing to stop such cruelty to these beautiful creatures.

The ANNEX
This church and the people in it have changed my life in so many ways I can not even begin to count. The community has been a stronghold for me in my faith. Bringing hope, compassion, adventure, and joy into my life on a daily basis! Probably during some of the most difficult times in my life. I was very lucky to be apart of the worship team at my church singing, playing Piano, and being complete goofballs with the craziest bunch I know!
On the other side of the spectrum, I have been blessed that all of my college experiences have opened doors to internships in the music industry, writing music, recording, working with radio stations, record labels, and the production companies. Spending time in Nashville TN, and Los Angeles has given me some pretty incredible experiences and met some of my very dearest friends. It has been so incredible having a passion for this industry and being able to know I can someday work in it!
Traveling and Missions
I am stoked about traveling any way that I can. However, missions take traveling to a whole other level. Character growth, fellowship, priceless learning atmospheres, and unmatched mentorship have led my life through the years. Within these experiences God has been continuing to show me how broken the world is and how much people are needing to experience His love both in America as well as over seas.
It was my most recent trip a couple years ago in Jamaica that really changed my heart towards missions. I saw God work in ways I had never seen before and saw the hearts of the people I was with, my heart, and the people we were ministering to, be consumed with a love that only HE can fill us up with! That trip was 2 weeks long and it hurt to come back to America because..frankly, I was not ready. Not to say that those length trips are not good! They are fantastic! God just put a different feeling in my heart. I felt like we were just getting started. I prayed that if God was ever going to open the doors to mission work again for me, that it would be a time that I would be drowning in the Spirit. Not just dipping my toes in and then taking them out to go back to westernized life. I felt the need to be completely removed in order to really understand what living life IN CHRIST looked like….Looks like I’m diving in with HIM now ๐
