Age: 18 going on 30

Hometown: Nome, Alaska (but currently living in San Antonio, TX).

Get Real with us. As of right now I am going to school for Medical Assisting, then in the fall I plan on going to EMT classes, and possibly becoming a Paramedic. I find the human body to be so interesting – oddly romantic and beautiful. I guess that part of me comes from having a photographer’s sense of thinking.

Before I became addicted to the medical field I wanted to become a fashion photographer, but I realized before I can become that I must have a stable career.

I grew up I Nome Alaska, which explains why I wear shorts when it’s 60 degrees outside. I miss all the adventures I had up there – climbing mountains, riding around town on an ATV, spending time at the beach, enjoying the snow.

Although I don’t have any of that in Texas, I always try to remain positive and enjoy the different cultures that surround me.

Nothing beats a good adventure.
