I graduated from Brigham Young University with a major in English and a minor in philosophy. During my time at BYU, I competed on the cross country and track teams. It was a great way to travel and see a bit of the world. After all that running, I am now content to live the slower life. One that is filled with the beauty of the outdoors, a connection to health and wellness, the daily dose of a good book, hot baths, and a deep and abiding connection to those I love most. I am a wife, mother of four children, and an inveterate seeker.
