While most kids had their parents’ read books to them such as Cat in the Hat, the books that were being read to me were books on Nevada history. This instilled a fascination and curiosity about history, people, and the world around me. Currently, I am studying Cultural Anthropology at UNLV with a minor in film with aspirations of becoming a museum curator. Between classes, I spend my time as a lifeguard and swim instructor at Lifetime Fitness, working for the Las Vegas Natural History Museum where I provide tours and science programs, assist in archiving at the repository, and learning about animal care from the husbandry team. As the president for the Nevada Beta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta, I help with making connections with the community and the other Greek Organizations at UNLV. I collaborate with my brothers in matters such as philanthropy, social affairs and recruitment to help our stability and growth both personally and professionally. For example, in November of 2023 and January of 2024, I led a team to help a family in Bullhead City, AZ afflicted with ALS with things they could no longer do for themselves such as cleaning their garage, cleaning out their pantry, pulling weeds, etc. The positions I hold and have held have allowed me to make positive connections with people and serve others to the best of my ability. Those who work with me would describe me as someone who has a positive work ethic, is personable and works well with others and maintains a positive attitude.
