I am a third-year student from Riverton, Wyoming, studying psychology with the goal of becoming a school counselor. I love playing clarinet and am a member of both the Western Thunder Marching Band and the UW Symphonic Band. In my free time, I enjoy painting, reading, and scrapbooking.
My favorite part of the Honors College is its interdisciplinary nature. I love that everyone brings different areas of study and perspectives to the classroom, creating interesting conversations and new ways of thinking.
The University of Wyoming has earned its Research Level 1 (R1) status from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, placing Wyoming's only four-year university with the top research universities in the United States.
