the Gumwrapper Girl

  • My name is Maci. I love my name. Even though I had people call me Savannah and GG for a time.
  • I’m passionate. About anything and everything. It’s my greatest strength and my greatest weakness.
  • I married my 9th-grade crush. He is the greatest <3
  • I graduated from BYU in 2020 with a degree in Neuroscience and Psychology. I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student in the Neuroscience program at the University of Utah.
  • I started GumwrapperGirl in 5th grade… most thought I’d grow out of it. 
  • I’m loud. I’m either talking, whistling, singing, or clicking my tongue.
  • I’m a happy member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It brings me joy, peace, and direction. 
  • I love sports. I played basketball, track, golf, and tennis for my high school and wish I could’ve played soccer and lacrosse too. I love watching and playing sports. Due to my health, I now have to stick to less contact sports like pickleball 🙂
  • I play the guitar, piano, and sing, and despite my husband’s opposition, I’m learning the harmonica.

What I Believe

  • I believe that every person is a child of God & we should treat them as such.
  • I believe that every person can teach you something.
  • I believe that attitude is everything.
  • I believe that 5 gum should make more colors of gum wrappers.
  • I believe that we should never let a problem to be solved come in the way of a person to be loved. -TSM
  • I believe in creativity, the growth mindset, and finding the fun in every situation.
