My ultimate career goal is to be a certified Sex & Wellness therapist. I know it's a big gap between where I am now and where I want to be, but I'm confident in the steps I've taken in my life and that I'll get there eventually! I graduated from BYU with a B.S. in social psychology in 2017, and took a break before pursuing my Masters so I could figure out where my career goals fit within the corporate world. Sex coaching wasn't as normal as it is now, so I had no idea how I wanted to apply myself. As soon as I realized that I wasn't alone in my struggle of tapping into my womanhood and freeing myself from the damaging social narratives that tell a woman where her worth lies, I knew I was on the right track. I became certified as a 200hr yoga teacher in 2020 to help add the holistic and eastern philosophy into the western accreditation I already had. Now my next steps are to continue to teach yoga and explore the world while I work on my certification to be a sex coach, then enroll in a Masters to become a formal therapist.

I have always been fascinated with culture, language, anthropology, and psychology.  I moved around a lot growing up, living in areas all over the US, Germany, and Austria.  In my early 20's, I started to realize that I where I lived and the language I spoke greatly affected my way of thinking.  It affected how I viewed others, how I solved problems, and how I communicated.I studied social psychology at BYU, where I continued to observe my theory that the education and influence we accept greatly influences our behavior. Everything is intertwined, whether we realize it or not.  I became fascinated less with understanding the clinical side of things, and more intrigued with tackling social issues.   Thus, the desire to join a community like Fitness Pro Travel where I can continue to mingle with people of other cultures, languages, and perspectives!

I just turned 30 and am ready to tackle the next decade of my life with all the energy and amazement I had in my 20's, but also with the wisdom and non-judgement I've picked up along the way!
