Anika grew up all over the world learning the languages and cultures of six different countries. Because her family moved around so much, she was homeschooled for her high school years and loved the learning that happened in her home. She currently lives in Rexburg, Idaho, as she and her incredible husband are getting their bachelor degrees. She has thoroughly enjoyed studying Spanish as her minor and Marriage and Family Advocacy as her major. She hopes to use her education to help families connect to the resources in their communities that will help them build strong family units. Her current job, as director of the Peer-Success Mentoring program at BYUI, allows her to train other mentors and work alongside them to assist students in building good life habits and skills that change their college experience for the better.
