Orianna Dennison
Ya’at’eeh! My name is Orianna Dennison. I am of the Dine tribe from Tohatchi, New Mexico; however, I grew up in Elko, Nevada. I have lived there my whole life but every chance my family got, we traveled back home. I am currently a freshman at the University of Utah studying to become a nurse with a specialty in anesthesiology. I love doing anything outdoors from hiking, camping, snowboarding, and most of all playing a game of soccer. I enjoy music, movies, hanging out with friends, and spending time with my family. AISES welcomes all new members and we hope to see you at our next meeting.
