Marisa Hoover

Marisa grew up in the beautiful Idaho countryside and was raised by parents who constantly told her that “knowledge is power.” In her childhood home, the multiple rooms filled with books and hundreds of National Geographic magazines attested to that belief. She’s carried this love of learning with her to this day as an undergraduate student at BYU. She first recognized the blessings of BYU-Pathway while serving a mission in Brazil, where she saw it help many people to become powerful community and Church leaders. Marisa also loves to ski, dance, hike, and travel. Her most recent travels were to the Holy Land where she studied at the BYU-Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies. Marisa is eager to share how BYU-Pathway is changing the world as a writing and messaging intern.
