I am a senior public relations major and a marketing minor at Colorado State University. I was born and raised in Fort Collins and have loved it since day one. I, like most Coloradoans love the outdoors and frequently visit the mountains for a day of hiking, boarding, or biking. Being a light skinned person I have benefited from learning more about melanoma and how to prevent and watch for signs. Email Aubrie
