 Hi! My name is Nia Yost. I am from a small neighborhood outside of Chicago, IL. I grew up in a town called Channahon,  and have lived there all of my life. Recently, I moved to Tampa, Florida in order to pursue further education at the University of Tampa! I moved down to Tampa mainly because of the amazing weather and Tampa's campus is so beautiful.  Growing up, I had a lot of hobbies. Many of the hobbies I had were sports and other recreational activities. I have been swimming for twelve years of my life. I started out on a club team called, The Blue Tides. This team was extremely impactful to me. I played basketball, soccer, rock-climbing, track, and open water swimming.  I would say I am a very quiet, but kind individual. I like to hangout with friends, but I also enjoyed reading for a few hours by myself.  Reading has been one of my major hobbies throughout my life, currently I am trying to read my height in books in one year. I enjoy all genres, however fantasy and botanical
