What did you want to be when you were little? Veterinarian 
 
What is your favorite thing about La Crosse and the University? The hometown feeling and relationships with professors 
 
What do you like to do in your free time? Hiking, hunting, yoga, and anything outdoors 
 
What jump started your interest in healthy living? My sister was always very healthy and she inspired me to do the same. 
 
What has your journey been like starting Living Healthy and how has it impacted you personally? My journey starting my own business was scary but I am very passionate about health and love every aspect of it. It has increased my passion for health and driven me to pursue every aspect of living healthy and make it my career. 
 
Where do you hope Living Healthy will go/lead you to in the future? In the future, I plan to open my own yoga studio with health education and nutrition education programs as well. 
 
What advice do you have for people who would like to engage in a healthier life style? I would encourage others to make small choices each day that are healthy, like eating an apple or going for a walk. Small choices each day provide big long term results. Many people think health is a fad or a 1 week diet, when it is really a lifestyle that can increase the quality of living for an individual and improve many other areas of their life. 
 
How does it feel to be featured as a Campus Celebrity? I am excited to share my healthy lifestyle with others and encourage them to do the same! I also want others to know that if they are struggling with living a healthy lifestyle that I am always willing and excited to help others.
 
 
Last but not least, what is your favorite recipe off of your site? My favorite recipe would be my apple pear crumble because it makes my house smell like cinnamon and tastes amazing :)

Hello! I'm currently a junior at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse. I'm working on marketing major paired with a French major with a business concentration. I love to travel and experience new people and their different ways of life. My goal is to be able to mix my passion for travel and my witty outgoingness into a career that I will enjoy! With that, people often ask what I want to be when I grow up and my answer is simply that I'll go with the flow. It may sound clichĂ©, but I like to try and be optimistic about what's out there and what life has to offer! Life is unpredictable so why not make the best of it! Being able to constantly learn and experience new things is something I'm all about! Since learning tends to correlate with school I think that school and work are very important, but I also believe in a life outside of those walls. I find sense of enjoyment in yoga and art along with spending time with my family and friends. Whether it's playing beach volleyball, climbing the beautiful bluffs that La Crosse has to offer, snowboarding or just relaxing outside with my dog you can find me outside(when the Wisconsin weather permits)! Not to mention I'm always up for a rip-roaring adventure! I hope you enjoy reading what I have to offer!
