About Me

A little bit about me. .  I am from Murray, KY and currently attend BYU.  I am a human development major and have a psychology minor.  I am planning to get my master's in social work.  I will be graduating in April 2012 and am very excited about that!  I am going to Tonga to do a Field Study this summer (that's the reason for this blog)!  My research project is designed to study family dynamics in Tonga, but my main goal of this experience is to be immersed in the Tongan culture and to learn from the people there.  Basically, I will be interviewing and observing the families I meet in Tonga and spending a lot of my time with them. I will also be volunteering while I am in Tonga in a primary school.  This will allow me to fulfill my capstone credit for my major, so this trip serves many purposes for me!  I love to read, watch movies, and play games.  I really enjoy spending time at the beach in the warm weather and sunshine.  I am hoping Tonga will be a great start to my goal of "traveling the world."
