My hometown is Denver, Colorado, which is where my parents and two younger sisters live. I attended Cherry Creek High School where I was very involved in a community service group called Hope 4 All and the Symphonic Orchestra. I truly grew in my Catholic faith through my youth group at Church of the Risen Christ. My hobbies include playing Texas-style fiddle music, fencing, and spending time outdoors at my family's ranch. At Creighton I am a member of the University Orchestra, St. Peter of Canisius Society, Campus Ministry, and Biology Club.

Writing These Reflections:

Reading and reflecting on God's word is an important part of growing closer to God. In my own experience, reflecting daily has helped me to feel more connected to Christ, which aides me in living out his Word. I am looking forward to both writing and reading these reflections, so that I may come to know Christ better.
