I grew up and attended school in Dallas, OR. Through the years I have had multiple hobbies, interests and been involved in a number of clubs and sports. Piano, tumbling, soccer, track, volleyball, were some of the activities I participated in.
I also volunteered at my church for varying events and taught VBS. I've always enjoyed being an active and working with others. I was a volunteer assistant coach at Parrish Middle school for 2 years. Through this experience I was able to combine my competitive nature and love of working with youth.
Through 4-H, I was able to progress to be a camp counselor. Before becoming selected to be a camp counselor, I attended many trainings where I learned leadership skills like, problem solving, working with others, and public speaking. I then went through an interview process and was selected. This last summer, summer 2025, I got promoted to Jr Director. I was Jr Director for multiple camps. Some of my responsibility included being in charge of whole camp activities as well as leading small group activities and helping create the schedule. I spoke in front of large groups of parents and campers.
