Over 25 years ago, in 1999, my wonderful parents created a website to more easily update our family & friends (aka: my earthly angels!) after my brain tumor diagnosis & first surgery at the fragile age of 2. 

This newer website shares the most signifcant surgeries & treatments I've had over the years. Including my 3 brain surgeries in 1999, 2001 & 2007. Effects from the 2nd surgery resulted in cranial nerve damage to left side nerves V-X causing a trach & no swallow ability for 4 years, left eye & ear nerve damage, & paralysis on the left side of my face. After chemo, multiple smile & eye surgeries, & proton radiation in 2014, my tumor is gratefully still stable & I am the healthiest I've ever been! 

After returning from my amazing LDS mission in Sacramento, CA last year & recovering from my most recent eye surgery, I am back at my receptionist job at Utah Valley Instacare, which I really enjoy!
I will be finishing my Child Development degree at BYU by the end of this year, & I plan to become a Child Life Specialist to give back to kids & their families going through difficult physical & emotional health challenges!

I love being with my friends & family, watching movies, journaling, playing card games, doing yoga, eating good food, being outside, attending the temple, etc! :) Thank you for being a part of my journey!
