I found my first passion as a sophomore in high school. My Biology class was literally life changing. I have since become a student at Utah State University studying biotechnology.

My second passion became apparent last year as I participated in a one of a kind class at Utah State. USU's Student Design Studio, in partnership with the Business Innovation Factory, has allowed me the opportunity to go through the design process in an effort to better student services at my university.

I never dreamed I could integrate my two passions until I was refered by a mentor to look into biomimicry. Now I know exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life. I truly love biology and the natural world around us and hope to create ways for all of us to live with nature in a more harmonious manner while still creating new avenues of efficiency.
