I am from Ogden, Utah and grew up in Syracuse before moving to St. George when I was twelve. I like working at BBP because I have received similar/the same treatments and am able to relate to patients, and I enjoy being able to help. The team here is absolutely amazing and so much fun to work with as well. I love dance, reading, art, and music, but usually I'm watching Criminal Minds. I have four younger siblings who are like my babies; even my mom jokes about how I 'raised them.' My family is everything to me!
