Contest entry!

I’m posting this to enter a contest offered by MeridaHome at Design For Mankind! I want to win the iPad 2! (and I love Erin’s shoes!)

As we go on, we remember all the times we've had together...

Thursday, April 21st 2011, I graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. I have felt so grateful for my time at BYU and in the Marriott School of Management. I have learned so much, developed great relationships, and grown spiritually. It was great to see my younger sister Miriam graduate as well. She will complete the Advertising program this summer. I'm excited for what the future holds for her. In honor of both of us graduating, my parents and sisters Rae and Emma were able to make it out from Maryland to attend.

Friday, immediately following Miriam's convocation, I went down and spent the weekend in Las Vegas with my cousin Emily. It was so much fun. Some of the highlights include: Shopping, laying out by the pool, doing a session at the Las Vegas Temple

Animated Economic Lessons

I apologize for not posting ever! I feel like my thoughts are consumed with school projects, tests, subject material, competitions, future job, etc. I don't know that much of that is worth blogging about.

Though I do want to share some insight into this crazy business world for those of you that are interested. In my Managerial Economics class, our professor advised that all of the single students in the class screen their dates by gauging their level of interest in this video. I might just consider. Please enjoy.

ECM NYC

Three weeks ago I attended Wells Fargo's Analyst Placement Day in Charlotte, NC and met 12 different groups. Based on the groups' preference of candidates and the candidates' preference of groups, assignments would be made. With 4 spots in NYC, 3 spots in SF, and 21 in Charlotte, I was held in much suspense until...

Thursday I was informed I will be joining

Equity Capital Markets in New York City!!!

I feel tremendously blessed and very excited.

I will begin training the second week of June in Charlotte, NC for 6 weeks after which I will begin my adventure in NY.

Walk on the Water

As many of you know... I have been working as a Spanish teacher at the Missionary Training Center. The past 9 weeks I have had the privilege to come to know and love 8 amazing missionaries. It has been such a roller coaster ride with many ups and downs but this district has taught me so much and I have seen each one of them grow in their testimony, their command of the Spanish language, and their ability to teach. The culminating experience of the 9 weeks was a baptism for "Marta," their progressing investigator. Below is the musical number that the Hermanas performed for her. They wrote both the lyrics and music for the number based on a powerful class lesson several weeks ago. What talent!! It has been such a blessing to be their teacher. The missionaries will be leaving for Costa Rica and Dallas, TX.
