Major: International Affairs
Hometown: Redlands, Ca

Why I'm a Kayette: When I heard all of the amazing things they do on and off campus I just had to be part of it! The amount of time they spend trying to figure out new ways to help our community is wonderful and the support system they provide is unbeatable! Kayettes has instantly transformed my last year and half at NAU and the girls are unbelievably kind and entertaining. We all share the same values and goals of putting smiles on others faces and I have had the time of my life so far!

Interests: Church, travelling, singing, music, theatre, swimming, zumba, pilates, intramural volleyball, babysitting, and just being with my wonderful family and friends!

Why I'm a Kayette: Community service has always been a big part of my life. I wanted to become involved in a group that would be close knit and give back to the community. Kayettes is the perfect group to achieve that. Plus my mom was a Kayette and told me all about the fun times and great friends that she made. I want to make relationships like that and have a great time.

Interests: I love to play and watch basketball (especially the PHX suns), watch movies, read, listen to music, games, card games, walking through the rain, having a good laugh, and there are so many more. Just get to know me and you'll find out all my quirks.

Why I'm a Kayette: Why not?!? I love serving and why wouldn't I want to serve with a bunch of other enthusiastic girls who I have fun with? Kayettes isn't only rewarding in the feeling that we get from helping others and making a difference, but we really do make a difference and that's never a bad thing. I can tell that I'm going to make great relationships that will last with me even after this whole college-thing is over!

Interests: Excuse me, but I love to eat! Can you tell? I love to cook and try new foods. I pretty much dance my way around from class to class with a song in my head at every moment. I love being around other people and I love being active. Movies are okay but I usually can't sit still that long.... I love children and teaching children. I love helping the elderly and I am always there for my friends and family. My faith is the most important thing to me, however.
