I was born and raised in Concord, MA but recently moved to Alpine, Utah. Since freshman year of high school I have played lacrosse and play midfield for BYU. I am studying PDBio, in my second year and served in the Ukraine, Donetsk mission from 2011-2013. I am the middle child of seven: three older sisters and three younger brothers. I love doing research and hope to attend medical school after graduating from BYU. I will be married January 3, 2014 to the love of my life, Eleanor.
