Profile
While earning my degree, my greatest supporters were:
My husband (Trent), my mom, my father and mother-in-law, my siblings, and my friends.
What I enjoyed most about my experience at BYU was:
Discovering that I am passionate about public health! I also learned to be open-minded about subjects that I thought were uninteresting or challenging. Most importantly, I learned to challenge myself and question my view of the world.
I plan to use my degree to:
Be a more informed contributor to my community. I also want to develop my skills as a program evaluator.
Now that I have completed the program, I'm most looking forward to:
Not worrying about deadlines and spending more time with my son!
