BYU Chapter Officers

Bryan Teuscher

President

Hometown: Idaho
Major: Psychology
About Me: Growing up in the thriving metropolis of Rexburg, Idaho I developed acute skills in potato picking and cow tipping. Actually, I never really did either of those things, but I loved being outdoors with my family. We’d go camping, fishing, and hunting all the time. I also like things that are a little less rustic, like music and reading. I will admit to my slight nerdy side by indulging in a light fantasy novel (please don’t judge too harshly) but I love classic literature as well. I served my mission in Scotland, then came home and starting learning Spanish to be available to help the Spanish speaking community in the US if I can. I hope to become a marriage and family therapist in the future, probably following a route in Social Work and then Counseling Psychology. I love being around people, getting to know them, and sometimes making a fool of myself (especially when dancing, but I’m horrible at it). I look forward to seeing you at our activities!!

Contact: britthompson369@yahoo.com
About Me: I am a Francophile. I love to travel, explore and create. I enjoy photography, art, theater, cooking and reading and writing. Oh, and food. I love food. Eating it. Making it. Sharing it....well, sometimes. I hope to go into editing/publishing for a magazine or book company. I also plan on moving to France, and becoming Julia Child. Oh! And I will hike the Lord of the Rings trail before I die.

Alan Hickey

Hometown: Tennessee
Major: Political Science
About Me:

Lamli Lam
Treasurer

Hometown: Hong Kong, China
Major: Dietetics
Contact: gn1299212@hotmail.com
About Me: I am a senior in the didactic program of dietetics at Brigham Young University. I have been interested in food and nutrition since I was young, but I had never thought of studying that because there was no accredited dietetics program in Hong Kong. Once I got an opportunity to study abroad to pursue a higher education, I decided to come to the States for a dietetics major. I found myself so lucky to be here, and I am so grateful for studying what I am passionate about.

Ben Jorgensen
Service Committee Chair
Hometown: Moses Lake, Washington
Major: Spanish
Contact: ben_1jorgensen@hotmail.com
About Me: I grew up on a potato farm in Washington. I’m the youngest of 7 kids. I served my mission in Argentina in the Bahia Blanca Mission, where I was almost translated twice. I’m a pre-med student and have about a year and a half left to go. My goal is to go on to medical school and become a hospitalist. I love learning but know that when you work hard you’ve got to play hard, hence my constant trips up to Park City to hit the slopes. I love golfing, swimming, tennis, scuba diving, basically anything outdoors that’s fun. I honestly joined Golden Key with the intention of just having another thing to put on file when applying to medical schools but when I found out how legit this organization was, with all the scholarships, networking and service opportunities, I realized how worth while it was. I’ve stayed involved because I love working with individuals who are actually dedicated to making a difference, standing out and serving others. I have loved my time with Golden Key and I’m pretty darn sure you will too.

Todd Jarvis
Social Committee Chair

Hometown: Beaver, UT

I am a Golden Key leader to help others achieve their life goals by serving them in Golden Key.

Emma Franks
Membership Chair
Hometown: Cleveland, OH
Major: Economics
Contact: efranks@pobox.com
About Me: Hello everyone! I'm Emma! love music of any kind, but most especially singing in the BYU a capella group Seven Deadly Sins and playing guitar (no, I'm not very good, but I enjoy it). I love trivia, playing games, and anything that reminds me of childhood. I was an active participant in band, choir, and theater in high school and my freshman year of college, but I haven't pursued any of those adventures since transferring to BYU last Fall. Basketball, soccer, and tennis are my favorite sports to play when I get a chance, and I love gymnastics. I'm a bit numerically O.C.D., I'm cautiously spontaneous, and I'm slightly addicted to clubs and volunteering. I'm also learning Hebrew! My life ambitions are to someday write a book, learn to surf, play the ukelele, and go to Harry Potter World.

Keya Joseph
Webmaster

Major: Information Systems

Officer Position: Webmaster

About Me: I really enjoy traveling. Also, I have a ton of other interests - too many to list:) The reason I got involved in Golden Key is because I didn't want to be one of those people that just joins for the benefits. I've enjoyed whatever little I've done for the chapter and hope I can help you in anyway.
