Alexis

Hello I am native Utahn. I am working towards my two AS degrees here at SLCC, then will transfer to the U of U for a bachelor's in genetics. I'd love to go on and complete a PhD in field work and research on genetic engineering. The goal is to settle down on a small farm in Colorado some day.

Alexis

My name is Alexis and I am from Salt Lake City. I enjoy learning and attended beauty school before coming to SLCC. My goal is to transfer to UVU once I am done here at SLCC and study to become an elementary school teacher. I have a passion for learning and teaching and am excited to be a helping hand for others this semester!

Ameigh

I’m from South Africa! I currently have no certifications as it’s only my second semester at college! I’ve always been interested in Law enforcement and that’s what I plan on doing after SLCC, go to the police Academy and join the Military Part-time!

Avery

I am from Salt Lake City, UT. I moved to Phoenix, AZ in 2021 to attend GCU. I made the switch from a medical degree to follow a creative outlet in Interior Design. I plan to work with a design firm once I graduate.

Bianca

I am from West Valley City, Utah but I was born in Michoacán, Mexico. I am 19 years old, and this is my 3rd semester here at SLCC. I have played soccer for most my life, but I have always had a passion for the medical field as well so the fact that I can turn both of these things into a career is my absolute dream! After SLCC I plan to go to Weber and get my masters in athletic training.

Cam

I am fascinated by everything under the sun. With interests that broad, it's tough to settle down and pick one thing, but I finally found the greatest intersection of interest and impact in biology (the field about everything under the sun). Now I'm working on an Associate of Biology; once that's done, I'll transfer to a 4-year to finish out my Bachelor's and look for research jobs. I dream of working in ecology, microbio, or both. But my true goal is to make the biggest positive impact I can, wherever that takes me. Hopefully, in my lifetime, I can just a little bit save the world.

Carmen

I live in Clinton, UT and have five sons (three currently live at home). Over 20 years ago, I attended Utah State University and recently, I decided to continue my education and transferred my credits to SLCC. I will graduate in the Spring 2025 with two associate degrees: American Sign Language and ASL/English Interpreting. I am passionate about being involved in the Deaf community to learn about their culture and way of life. My goal is to become an interpreter that delivers high quality of service that the Deaf community values and deserves. After I graduate, I plan to transfer back to Utah State University and work toward my bachelor's degree in Deaf Studies.

Emily

Utah has been my home for my entire 43 years of life. I graduated with an AS pre-med degree last semester and started the nursing program here at SLCC 9 days later. I am almost finished with my first semester and I'm loving it! I am incredibly grateful for SLCC and for the nursing program. Small class sizes allow for a more personalized experience. The professors are top notch and personable, they really care and guide you through the program. It is hands-on and I believe I am gaining the knowledge and skills I need to prepare me to be an excellent nurse. Although I can't imagine enjoying attendance at any other college as much as I enjoy being here at SLCC, I am planning on attending the U of U to get my bachelors degree upon completion of the RN program. My ultimate plan is to become a NP. I'm excited to meet you all and to be part of the student mentor team!

Hillari

I was born and raised in Nevada and attended some college in Idaho where I earned an AAScience degree. Currently, I attend SLCC in pursuit of fulfilling some gen ed requirements for my bachelor's and eventually master's degrees. I have not yet decided where I hope to transfer to, to complete my degree. I have managed various companies and teams throughout my career and found a common thread that made me want to get out of bed in the morning, I thoroughly enjoy watching and supporting staff in their professional growth. I moved to work in the coaching sector. While there I determined I wanted to be doing this in academia, so here I am, earning the academic employment credentials for advising, counseling, and coaching. I look forward to serving at the academic advising support desk to develop some new skills.

Hi, I’m Isaac Hawk and I’m from Herriman. I’ve been at SLCC for 1 year and going to school here is some of my first steps towards a degree in IT.

Ivonne

I was born in Portland, Oregon but have lived in Utah pretty much my whole life. I am certified in medical interpreting for Spanish and I am a pharmacy technician. I plan on apply to Pharmacy School after I get my bachelor's in chemistry.

Jazmin

I am from Mexico and am focusing on completing my baking and pastry major. I don’t have many ideas after I graduate so I’ll probably just work for a while then go back to college for a business degree.

Jess

I am from Utah, lived here my whole life, I love the mountains and skiing. I am in my last semester at SLCC and planning on transferring to the U of U for my bachelors of civil engineering in spring 2025.

Megan

I was born and raised in Utah, but my family is from Olancho, Honduras. I am currently studying at SLCC. While at SLCC, I have earned a place on the president's list. I have not attended another institution but plan to transfer to UVU once I earn my associate's degree. I like the program that I am studying because it is giving me a better understanding of why people act the way they do and how people's psychology plays a role in the criminal justice system. After my journey here at SLCC ends, I want to transfer to UVU and get my master's. Hopefully, with a better education, I can provide a better future for my beautiful two-year-old daughter.

Nasim

I'm a nursing student currently in my third semester at SLCC, will be finishing out my last semester in the Fall. I'm passionate about healthcare and am excited to be pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) through the University of Utah's bridge program. The hands-on experience and supportive environment at SLCC have been invaluable in preparing me for a successful nursing career. I'm eager to share my knowledge and help fellow students navigate their academic journey.

After a while living in Salt Lake, I decided to go into Nursing and finish my education here.

This experience enriched my communication skills and deepened my commitment to helping others.
