To put it in a nutshell, I’m an almond. Just kidding. :) First, I’m a child of God. Second, I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Third, I’m a bookworm. I’m also a BYU student majoring in English Language (and what am I going to do with that, you ask — I’m going to get an MLS and become a librarian), a wannabe writer, a graphic designer, an amateur linguist, and a lot of other things. My motto: Dream big.
