ABOUT ME
Welcome to my about me page! Here is a place where you can learn a little bit more about me and my childhood. I will share some experiences that helped
me to become the person that I am today so that you can get to know me better.
Through out my entire life, I’ve lived in St. George city, Utah in the same house. I honestly think that it is one of the prettiest places on Earth. I have a pretty interesting family situation.
I am the second oldest. I was born in December of 1998. I have an older sister, a younger brother, a stepsister that is about my age, and two adorable little
half-sisters. My family and I love to play pickle ball and love to hang out with each other. My mom was born and raised in Hurricane, Utah which isn’t too
far from St. George. My dad was born in southern California, but raised primarily in Mesa, Arizona. I also have a stepmom who was born and raised near Salt
Lake City, Utah.
I have several interests and hobbies! I have always been a big fan of playing video games. I love good stories, so single player games are my bread and butter. I love to play pretty much any game I can get my hands on though. I love playing games with my friends. I also love to build computers. I have always loved messing around with the software and hardware of my computer. That’s probably why I enjoy coding. My friends and I also love to go hiking, swimming, and we love competing in pickle ball! St. George is the perfect place to go outside and do fun stuff. I also really enjoy going shooting with my dad. I’m not a perfect aim, but I’m not too bad either. My friends and I frequently go longboarding along the river here in St. George which is also really fun.
I served a religious service mission from 2019 to 2021. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It was a little different than most due to the fact that I served during the COVID-19 pandemic. I was originally assigned to serve in New Zealand, but due to visa issues I ended up getting temporarily reassigned to Brooklyn, New York City. I absolutely loved it there! After a couple of months, I finally made it to New Zealand. It is honestly one of the prettiest places on Earth. It has some of the bluest water you will ever see with some of the most lush green forests ever! The culture and people were incredible. I made a lot of lifelong friends while living in Rotorua. After nearly 10 months of living there, I was sent home due to COVID. I ended up finishing my mission in Wichita, Kansas. Kansas is a gorgeous state with some amazing hospitality. The BBQ there is phenomenal!
Currently, I am attending school at Dixie State University. I am working on my bachelor’s degree in computer science. I have really enjoyed my time here at Dixie and I think that it is a wonderful school. I am also working at a pizza place called Papa Murphy’s. I’ve worked there for a little over 4 years now. I really enjoy it, but I can’t wait to start working somewhere as a software engineer. I am also currently trying to work on some side projects for my coding classes. I really want to improve my skill as a software engineer. My goal is to work as a software engineer for a company in St. George sometime in the near future.
