In 2016, I had a career-ending injury in volleyball. As part of my rehabilitation, I began yoga classes, and I fell in love with yoga. I enjoy the practice of yoga so much that I became a yoga instructor!

I am a certified yoga instructor in Power Vinyasa RYT 200 through a 300-hour training. I have witnessed people grow mentally and physically as they learned to love who they were, heal their bodies, and improve their quality of life through the practice of yoga.

My grandparents, parents, and family all grew up around boats. Boating is an integral part of the Cooper family’s life. Summer nights and weekends are spent with family and friends on our boat skiing, wakeboarding, surfing, and just playing. I can talk about boats and water sports all day.

My father is a Canadian; this means that in his family, first steps were followed by strapping on skis and heading to the mountain. The only way I survived five winters in Utah was skiing! Skiing is one of my favorite ways to spend time with my brothers and dad.

I have always loved the outdoors. In the summer of 2021, I took a class in canyoneering, and I am hooked. Hiking in remote canyons, and then repelling down enabled me to see vistas and nature that very few ever experience.

I have studied art since elementary school. Starting in 6th grade, I have achieved proficiency in drawing, watercolors, oil painting, and many other mediums through the years. In addition to the joy I find in creating art, I utilize my creative side and artistic ability in designing events and creating experiences.

I love animals! I currently have the sweetest kitty I rescued from a shelter. Post-graduation, I started training guide dogs for the blind. Right now I am full-time raising and training a yellow lab who will hopefully get to become a full guide dog for someone and change their life!
