Why do you want to become an egg donor?
I would like to be an egg donor to provide a family with a child. I understand that seems like a standard answer, but I have chosen not to have children. I have a healthy line of genetics, and I would like to donate my eggs to a family who may not have the genetics to produce a child, or the ability to. I feel my donation will impact the lives of parents that are hopeful and excited to have children.

Anything special you'd like to tell us about you?
I am a driven, compassionate, kind, and meticulous individual. I am athletic, a book nerd, and entertain many hobbies! I have freckles, one small dimple when I smile, great sense of humor, and I'm extremely good with puzzles! I have a deep love and appreciation for classic rock, movies, and novels. I have a vast collection of vinyl records, VHS tapes, and films, hence my knowledge about the world of cinema, music, and literature! As a child, I was a gymnast, dancer, softball player, volleyball player, and chess player. During high school, I attended a program called "Running Start." This allowed me to enter college early at 15 and obtain my associate's degree by graduation at 17. Following high school, I attended the University of Washington (beginning at age 17) and graduated at 21 with my bachelor's degree. Prior to graduation, I worked with CELM (Center for Environmental Land Management of Military Lands) and Colorado State University as in biological technician. This position was on the Joint Base Lewis–McChord Air Force Base. I worked directly with the agency and non-profit biologists to coordinate the overall effort of the western bluebird conversation.

Other achievements or honors
I also led mixed teams of other students and active-duty military interns in carrying out both band-resight and nest outcome surveys. I assisted with western gray squirrel surveys, helped build and install bat roosting towers, and even earned my Red Card as a Type-2 Wildland Firefighter. I have also held my BLS/CPR certification since 2019, and two FEMA certifications: IS100 & IS700. After working in a hospital during the pandemic, I decided I wanted to volunteer abroad and continue to work with wildlife conservation. I traveled to Costa Rica and spent three months in Ojochal to work in sea turtle conservation. I assisted the project biologist with turtle data collection, monitoring, and management. I helped to ensure proper care and protection of the hatchery, and relocated eggs to the hatchery or a safe location on the beach. I also completed observations regarding Costa Rica’s native birds. In addition to those tasks, I patrolled six to ten-kilometer beaches daily to ensure turtle protection against poaching. Since then, I have moved to Austin. I plan on pursuing a Master's Degree and continuing to live here in Texas.

What is the one change you wish to see in the world?
Although there are a few changes I would like to see in the world, the most important one to me is kindness. I would like to see more kindness. I wish to see more kindness towards each other, ourselves, and to our environment. I hope to see more acts of kindness in the world. I try to complete one charitable act a month, always pick up litter, show kindness to everyone in my life (including strangers), and do my best to encourage others to do the same.
-
What would you consider to your greatest strengths?
I would argue my greatest strengths include but are not limited to:A. Perseverance-I never give up, and always try my best to push through any challenge.B. Dedication-I am dedicated in all things that I do. I was taught by my mother that, in order to succeed or obtain the life I want, I must dedicate all of my energy and time to that. C. Positivity-I try my best every day to find the silver lining in every situation. Things can seem dark, but, in my opinion, the best way to navigate challenges is to find the positives in that situation.
