Hello!! My name is Ali Sylvester, and I am going to tell you a little about myself.
Childhood/Family
I was Sooner Born and Sooner Bred (actually). I have lived in Oklahoma my whole life. I am 21 years old and the oldest of 3 children. Although my parents are divorced so it gets a little complicated with "sides of the family". I have a brother who is 15 named Joseph and a brother who is 9 named Greyson, and they are both so incredibly important to me. I have 3 dogs all under 2 years old who I love dearly. Rousey, Oakley, and Ruger (Ruger is my favorite, by far).

Education/Career
I am a Junior at The University of Oklahoma. I have 30 hours left until I graduate. Time flies in college!?!? I am a Communication major minoring in Public Affairs and Administration. There are so many things I love about my major, but my absolute favorite part about studying communication is that it can be applied to absolutely anything. I hope to graduate in December 2017 and continue working.
I currently work in ministry at Victory Family Church in Norman, Oklahoma. I am beyond passionate about my work because I get to bridge the gap between people and systems. How cool is that!? I believe I am called into ministry, and I have found that when I aligned my passions (people and analyzing) with my purpose (glorifying God’s kingdom and loving His people), this job couldn’t be a better fit for me.
Favorites/Facts/Other
I absolutely love the mountains.
I love mountain activities. Hiking and downhill skiing are two of my absolute favorite hobbies.
I love iced coffee is all seasons. Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter.
I am legally blind in my right eye and it is uncorrectable.
My dream job is to be the person who chooses the entire soundtracks to movies and television shows. (whatever that might be called).
I have an irrational and overwhelming phobia of police and I have no idea why.
I have never seen Starwars or Star Trek or all of the Harry Potter movies.
My favorite move it Beauty and the Beast.
I am currently learning Piano.
Funny Story
When I was 12, I thought I was going to be on Broadway. I memorized entire plays and sang/acted/danced my heart out (around the house). I thought I was INCREDIBLE.. mostly because my mom always told me I was. Then in 6th grade, I tried out for the lead in the musical put on by our Drama department called "Quack Jr.". Guess what, not only did I not get the lead, but I didn't make the musical at all. I was baffled because my mom thought I was great... HAHA. It was then I realized maybe I am not as good as I thought. BYE-BYE Broadway dreams.
