Ode to Georgia,
A Closer Look
I work at Weber State University, just for fun, you know. I belong to
the American String Teacher's Association, as well as Utah
Viola Society and American Viola society; the Ogden One
and Salt Lake Cutthroat Racing teams (road cycling); the
WSU Swim Club; and American Film Editors
Association. Ooh, I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints. This is starting to sound like a resume. I
LOVE anything outdoors or anything that has to do with
sports, athletics, soccer, biking, running,
camping, 4-wheeling, and going FAST! I also love my
crazy, crazy family (you guys).
Career Path: Super rich and famous
Getting to Know Me
Favorite trivia fact:
It takes 42 muscles to frown, 17 muscles to smile, but it doesn't take any
muscles to sit there with a dumb look on your face
My dream job:
Being a great mom and wife one day! But if we're talkin'
money-making careers here, I'd have to go with being a PRN
or a PA or, heck, even a personal trainer. I love the human
body. It's fascinating to me.
My claim to fame:
I am the Walrus, koo koo kachoo
Pet peeve:
fat people, I'm totally kidding

Hair. One investigator in Calgary gave me some real hair
Most unusual job I've ever had:
Teaching orchestra to elementary kids
Where do you go when you want to get away?:
Inside the deep recesses of my warped and twisted mind
Favorite Cartoon:
Spongebob. Pretty sure the writers are high when they
come up with that stuff.
Do you have a lucky charm?:
No, but I like the cereal
Food that grosses me out the most:
Live millworms
Favorite ride at an amusement park:
The tugboats at Lagoon.

If I won a million dollars, what would I do
with it?:
I'd LIKE to say that I'd go girl shopping and then take
you all on vacation to Europe with me. But let's be boring
honest here, I'd probably hire some financial advisor,
invest it, and spend a little of it when I got it on some
new clothes and probably go on another Guatemalan adventure
trip, but this time to Costa Rica or something.
Major news event that had an impact on me or
earliest major news event I can remember:
9/11, for sure. I remember Elder Dahl getting a call on that day (it was his
birthday), and it was his paren'ts freaking out cause his brother was going to
Afghanistan because he was a fighter pilot.
Most embarrassing moment:
You do NOT want to know that one. Suffice it to say it
involves bad shrimp, a carbon monoxide detector, and a
kung-fu move.

President Benson (when I was about 8) and many members
of the 12 Apostles when I played in a quartet for a church
Christmas party once.

1)Jesus Christ
2)Joseph Smith
3)Hillary Clinton (just kidding)
4)Captain Moroni
Favorite shows/movies:
Hmmmmmmm, anything that has real meaning that you have to look for. For
example, the Huddsucker Proxy, an excellent film where every element means
something else, or Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Then again, a good entertainer
like Lord of the Rings is right up there

Hale theater "See How They Run" takes a forefront as well.
Amazing job.
