Born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona, I graduated from BYU-Idaho with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a certificate in Data Science. I worked for a year as a researcher at BYU-Idaho before moving to Utah and interning as a researcher with Seminaries and Institutes of Religion. I have been passionate about sociology since high school! I love learning about and understanding people—why we do what we do, why we believe what we believe, and how that can change. I love to study both the sociology of religion and social theory, especially social change and social movements. When not doing research, I love to spend time with my family, watch movies, ballroom and country dance, and collect LEGOs.
