Scholar Biography:
I am a senior working on a degree in Recreation and Sport Management with a concentration in Youth Leadership with a certification in Nonprofit Leadership. I will be graduating in May 2011. I’m the first to go to a university out of 10 children.
I am involved with Mortar Board, Omicron Delta Kappa, the Latter Day Saint Student Association, Nonprofit Leadership Alliance, and in my position as a Community Assistant with Residential Life. As a participant in AmeriCorps, I am serving all ages of the community at the Terre Haute Children’s Museum. I am also interning as the Fundraiser/Event Coordinator with Big Brothers Big Sisters for their annual fundraising event, Bowl for Kids Sake. I plan to attend graduate school for a master’s in Student Affairs and Higher Education then one day work at a college or university.
I recently got married to my husband, Luke. We are both students and great support systems for one another.
