About me:
I was born in Price, Utah and grew up in Malad, Idaho. I'm the middle child to four brothers. Growing up in a bilingual household, communication has always been important to me.
I served a Spanish-speaking mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Houston, Texas, after graduating high school.
I enjoy playing and recording music in my free time. It was that enjoyment of music production and audio engineering that directed me toward working at BYU-Idaho Radio. I began work at BYU-Idaho Radio as an intern in the fall of 2025.
I will graduate with a degree in communications with an emphasis in digital and social media in 2027.
