The CragBaby

My younger sister (nicknamed Booder) moved to Salt Lake about a year ago to finish her bachelors degree. I have always been impressed with her work ethic, but she has continued to make me proud on a variety of levels.

Schooling: Upon moving to SLC, she had her associates degree and already figured out what bachelor degree she wanted to pursue. She started the program immediately, taking classes through the summer and will be finished with the program in the Spring. While jamming away on her degree, she has managed to always have two jobs, working numerous hours, while volunteering on the side.

Work: She works as a part-time receptionist here at Wasatch. She has quickly learned the ropes of venture capital and is a huge value to me and my work. Her other job is up in the Park City area. She is always picking up extra shifts and has already been giving a couple raises and job opportunities.

Personal: She is extremely fit and keeps up a strict workout program. She ran her first marathon, the St. George marathon, a couple weeks ago. It was an agonizing experience for her but she finished! Next thing I know, she had signed up for the Salt Lake marathon in April. I am going to start training and hopefully my ankle will hold up so that I can run it with her.

Volunteering: She is a journalism student and so I thought she would enjoy the volunteer experience of the KCPW pledge drives. During the spring drive she picked up a handful of shifts and thoroughly enjoyed working with the KCPW team. This past fall drive she picked up the most shifts out of all the volunteers, sometimes working 12 hours straight.

I am definitely a proud older sister and am so grateful to have such a good influence in my life.
