I am originally from Hastings, MN born and raised. I decided to go to North Dakota State University for college. It might not be the prettiest place to live, but it was a great education and great people there. I just graduated from there with a Major in Natural Resource Management with a minor in Anthropology. I was part of several clubs and rugby both to which I will miss dearly. Last summer I was able to work in Glasgow, Montana with the FWP. My job title was aquatic education and park management. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Over that summer I got to see Yellowstone National Park for the first time, which was amazing. This is my first time working with the SCA and being excited is an understatement. Throughout my college career and more I have worked at a YMCA as a swim instructor, lifeguard, and lifeguard instructor. So when I’m not in school/library studying or at work I love to play rugby, to swim, and exercise in general really. I love to cook and garden. I love music and movies to the extreme. I’m so excited to share this experience with everyone.
