Introduction to a Future Wish Granter

Hi everyone! I'm Nathan, and I hail from Clinton, OK. I'm a senior public relations major and nonprofit organizational studies minor, and I'm so close to graduation. I have loved my experience at the University of Oklahoma for the past three years, and I'm ready to finish it up! My favorite part of public relations is getting to meet and build relationships and connections with so many different people. My favorite class last semester was Beginning Voice; I've been singing in choir all my life, including doing multiple honor choirs during junior high and high school, and that was my first opportunity to sing since coming to college. Once I graduate, I'm hoping to work with a nonprofit like Make-A-Wish. I was born with dilated cardiomyopathy, a rare heart condition that affects its ability to pump blood. I was given a trip through Make-A-Wish when I was younger, and I interned for them in the summer of 2019. 

I'm a big fan of reality television - Big Brother, Survivor, Amazing Race, etc.,- if it's a reality competition show, I've probably seen almost all of it. I also love the murder mystery movie Knives Out starring Daniel Craig, and it's one of my favorite movies of all time (it recently released on Amazon Prime- you should seriously watch it). I love listening to music in my free time, especially Charlie Puth.

I have three older brothers, amazing parents, and two of the cutest dogs ever, Copper and Stella. I'm obsessed with Disney: almost every family vacation is Disney-related. I've been to Disneyland, Disney World, and been on Disney Cruises and each visit is better than the last. I'm also hoping to be able to incorporate Disney into my career with Make-A-Wish. My favorite food is pizza, but I will eat just about anything. I also make some amazing mashed potatoes every Thanksgiving. I enjoy watching TV, playing video games, and playing with my dogs. They are the most loving dogs you'll ever meet.

That's all from me for now, but I should be back soon and all throughout the semester!
