I grew up in Great Falls, and graduated from C.M. Russell High School in 2001. I currently attend the University of Montana part-time and am pursuing a B.S. in business administration with emphasis in management and minoring in Native American Studies. I also work at the Upward Bound office as a student clerical assistant.

I became involved in with Upward Bound the summer of 8th grade and have been involved ever since then. I was an Upward Bound Student for 5 years, and then became a counselor and was the head resident and now I continue to work in the main office year around.

Being involved in Upward Bound has allowed be to make friends that I will have for a lifetime and also has helped me to accomplish my goals of continuing my education.

Outside of working for Upward Bound, I am either attending class, or am studying and raising my daughter Cecelia. I love every minute of being a mother. Being able to experience everything with your child for the first time is the greatest blessing in the world. When I do get time to have a break from studying I like watch movies and play with my daughter.
