I want to help others. I know how to get people to laugh and I love to help people learn new things about the world around them. I graduated in April of 2022 with a degree in Biology with an emphasis in Biotechnology. I completed a Phlebotomy skills certification in June of 2022 followed by an IV placement training course. I completed both courses with top marks in my class. I worked for two years at ExpressLab in Idaho Falls and was promoted twice during that time. I worked in processing, was promoted to Phlebotomist and finally was to Medical Lab Scientist. I operated in a satellite location office independently drawing over 100 patients/week. I performed maintenance and QC on the Chemistry analyzer Vitros 5600. I prepared patient samples to be run on this analyzer and accepted results from the assays. I worked for two years as a librarian shelving books and assisting patrons. I became very efficient at doing my job in a relatively short period of time and became the most efficient and organized shelver in the library. In addition, I spent two years as a full-time missionary in the Washington D.C. area. I learned many valuable interpersonal skills and a respect for leadership, authority, and the chain of command. This experience taught me to push myself to the limits in order to accomplish great things. I also learned to measure success not from the people that listened, but based off how I performed. I spent two semesters while on campus interpreting for the deaf and hard-of-hearing in classes and gained semi-proficiency in American Sign language (ASL).I worked for 4 years as an independent respite worker with special needs children. This job gave me insight into working with autistic, downs syndrome, and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome individuals and helping them to thrive in the world around them.I am currently a student at Liberty University in Lynchburg VA. I am enrolled in the Master's of Clinical Mental Health Counselling though the School of Behavioral Sciences. I am on track to graduate in Dec 2026
