I began my career in residential treatment, where I discovered a passion for supporting youth—especially LGBTQ+ young people. That passion led me to Encircle, where I’ve worked for the past three years and had the privilege of opening the Heber City location. There, I developed a deep appreciation for community building. I’m currently pursuing a Business Management degree at Western Governors University. Outside of work and school, I enjoy sports, music, reality TV, board games, puzzles, being an aunt, and spending time with my three-legged cat, Karma.ription

As a young adult I attended programming at the Encircle Salt Lake home and immediately fell in love. When I moved to Ogden and saw the home going up there, I knew that’s where I wanted to direct my life. All I want is to make the world a more kind and understanding place and with Encircle I can do exactly that.
I’m a communications major at Weber State with a passion for philosophy and collaboration. I’m a hippy and a writer and a yogi and a climber. I love building connections–connections with other people, with nature, with the universe and within myself to learn about life and all of it. I like cats more than dogs but my heart belongs to the creepy crawlies. My special skill? Handstands.

We are proud to bring essential mental health services and resources to the LGBTQ+ community in Weber, Morgan, and Davis County
We can’t wait for you to join us for the magic waiting to happen in Ogden!
Statistics from The Trevor Project (2022) showcase that half (50%) of LGBTQ+ youth in Utah seriously considered suicide in the past year. This location will provide a sanctuary and valuable resources for one of the state’s most at-risk populations.
It Takes a Village
