I have been very surprised by the investigation I performed this last
week. I began by searching for you on Google and started with your first and
last name, as well as Utah. The first hit that came up was a site with
information on whom I am assuming is your father. This article can be found
here, and it actually lists you as one of his dependents. From this site I
noticed you are from South Jordan, Utah. This was exciting to me, because
I am also from South Jordan. My search then took me to Facebook where I easily
found you, because of all of the friends we have in common. From your Facebook
profile I learned you are one of four children, with two sisters and one
brother. It looks to me, you are the oldest or the second oldest in your
family. I also learned your middle name is Nicole. It is not often you see a person’s full name on Facebook, so it made me think your middle
name must have great meaning to you. This information can be seen here and the
picture included shows a picture of the whole Loveless family.
On your
Facebook page I found some other interesting information. It appears you
attended Bingham High School, just like I did. I believe you graduated in 2014,
so you are a year younger than I am. It appeared you were very active in
high school with dances and other school activities. I concluded my search on
Facebook and my third step was then to return to Google where I searched your
first and last name as well as Bingham High School. This search pulled several
different links all discussing soccer. It seems you played soccer for
Bingham High and were on the varsity team at some point. Max Preps provided information from the 2013 season. Kaelyn I discovered you played
defense and you were number fourteen. You actually played with one of my really
good friends, Madison Loftus. Overall it appears your team had a
successful season and finished 28th overall in the state of Utah. Unfortunately
I was only able to find information on your senior season at Bingham, but I enjoyed
the information I did find. Congratulations on a successful career of athletics
at Bingham, I know there is an extra emphasis put on Bingham athletes and it’s
an honor to be one.
As I searched
for you again on Google, an interesting link appeared about five headings from
the top. I opened it to find it was an event sheet for an LDS mission
farewell you said you would be attending. This took my search back to your
Facebook page where I discovered you are a member of the LDS church. I
thought this was really impressive without being a friend of yours on
your social media platforms, I could see your religious affiliations. To me
this shows you are a dedicated member and have no problem sharing such things. I could
also see this was not the only mission farewell you had attended, and you must be very supportive of your friends and their choices. I was also
impressed you shared this on your Twitter and Instagram accounts. In your condensed
personal biographies you clearly state your religious group and openly your
beliefs. I thought this was very admirable. A tweet about your graduation from the Bingham LDS seminary can be found here.
From
these two other social media platforms I was able to find that you are actually
a Utah State Ambassador and a cosmetologist. I was surprised I could not
find more on the fact that you are a Utah State Ambassador, but this may be
because you are newer to USU. For the future, I would recommend you make
information about your time and work as a Utah State Ambassador more available,
because this is such a powerful experience you have taken part in. This
opportunity will someday be a great resume addition for you and I am sure you will want to share it with those who will be looking to hire you. Throughout
this entire process I have really enjoyed being able to get to know you, Kaelyn,
and learn some things about you. It is amazing to me we can be from the
same home town and go to the same high school, but know virtually nothing about
one another. From all I can see, all of your profiles and links on the internet
are clean and well kept. You should have no problems if a future employer of
any kind were to search for you on the web. I hope you have found this
information to be beneficial to you.
