About Me

I was born and raised in Greenwood Village, Colorado... a true "native". I like spending my time with friends and family. My dream is to become a dermatologist and specialize in treating people with allergies and food sensitivities. I have many interests outside of my professional aspirations; including: hiking, competitive soccer, volunteering, and much more. I enjoy challenges that take me out of my comfort zone and broaden my horizons.

Aspirations & Hobbies

My favorite thing in the world is making people feel incredible on the inside, just as much as I hope to on the outside.

Everyone's dream in life is to do something they love and I intend to work towards that goal in a calculated and sustainable way. My senior year, I elected to enroll in a hybrid esthetician program offered by Cherry Creek High School that would empower me to take a deliberate career step forward. I have sincerely enjoyed my first semester in this program. I could not be more appreciative and excited for this opportunity!

University of Denver

The University of Denver is my dream school, in case the URL did not make that dramatically obvious. My older brother and parents all attended the University of Colorado, Boulder. Through campus tours and becoming educated regarding DUs academic programs, I determined that DU is a more comfortable and focused environment and is my perfect fit. From working the Farmers Market on Pearl Street, to delivering Meals on Wheels to the South Denver community, this area is my home.

Volunteer Experience

Community service is not optional, it is imperative

• Meals on Wheels (2018-2024)

• Spacial Olympics (2021-2024)

• Adam's Camp (2018)

• Children's Hospital (2018-2024)

• National Charity League Secretary
  (2023-2024)

• National Charity League Council Representative (2024-2025)

- Summary -

It is my personal belief that volunteer work should not be viewed as an accomplishment, but as an act of service. There has been a misguided shift in our culture, where charitable action has been tarnished with box checking and a false sense of nobility. Providing support and relief to others should be just that, and nothing more. I have dedicated a large portion of my free time proving that to myself, above all else, and finding organizations that align with my moral compass. I have found my service a very rewarding experience, and I intend to continue giving back through continued engagement with these organizations.

- Personal Mission -

I am actively enjoying my time at Cherry Creek High School and in my hybrid esthetician program at Colorado's Finest Spa!

Working Hard, or Hardly Working?

Having worked at Tru Goodness Brands, I can firmly say...I worked hard! From waking up at 4:00 a.m., to developing muscles through loading industrial beverage equipment, creating beverage flavors, interacting with the community and even laying concrete, I truly had the experience of a lifetime.
