My name is Elisabeth Stevens Whitchurch. I use both Stevens and Whitchurch for now because according to the government, I'm Whitchurch. But to UVU, I'm Stevens. So I use both until UVU catches up with the times. Ah, the joys of getting married.

I live in Utah County, I was born in Washington State but grew up here. I've been going to UVU since I was 16, and I love sushi and chocolate brownie batter ice cream. I am lactose intolerant, so unless the milk product is divinely delectable, I probably won't eat it. My husband's name is Russ and he also goes to UVU, majoring in Engineering. I am an English Education major. I hope to one day speak Japanese, ride a motorcycle, have kids, and travel to each continent. :)

I don't exactly have a favorite place to go, but my favorite places are usually simple areas like southern Utah in Zions or at Bryce canyon. As long as these places are warm and I'm free to explore or play, I am perfectly happy.

I am a brown belt in Seito Shito Ryu and will be testing for my black belt this October. I teach younger ranks occasionally, but I prefer to be the student when it comes to karate. Its less stressful that way and I can focus on myself instead of others during that time instead of 2 to whatever students.

Psychology is interesting, although I find it a bit overwhelming and complex. I am excited to learn about it and how I can use it to help me become an awesome Future Educator!!!
