(she/they)
President
As a pansexual gender queer millennial, I have been acutely aware of my non-cis non-heteronormative identity since the 7th grade; I know how unsafe and hateful the world can feel. I founded Flourish Point and Rexburg Pride with the goal of carving out space where the queer community can show up and be loved, celebrated, and appreciated for exactly who they are.
Welcome, I am glad you are here!

Secretary
As a proud member of the queer community and a current social work student, I serve on the board as a voice for students and young people who don’t have the privilege to accept their identities so openly. Born and raised in Idaho, I understand the pressure to conform and the deep challenges of feeling isolated from the community around you. Some of the first times I’ve felt seen for who I am were at local pride events, where I knew I could exist without the fear of being judged, or the isolation that comes with hiding who you are. That sense of safety and belonging is what drives my passion to expand both the feeling and reality of community safety, building more inclusive communities where everyone can thrive and find belonging.
Outside of this role and academics, I enjoy crocheting, reading, and exploring the outdoors through hiking and running.
