“Every day I strive to be a better person than I was the day before.”
I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. And because of this, I am allergic to cold. Working at Wayspring has been a breath of fresh air for me. Everyone is truly passionate about what they do—and I love it! Every day I strive to be a better person than I was the day before. And I help our members do the same.
When I am not working or going to school, you will find me playing PC video games. From farming simulation games to online MMOs, I enjoy all types of video games. Dogs also give me a sense of calmness when I am around them, which is why they’re truly my best friends. I volunteer at a couple of rescues in Phoenix, and I hope to someday be able to open my own animal rescue.
