Neleh Dennis was born in Heber City, Utah,
and is one of eight siblings (five brothers, Tom,
John, Devin, Nathan and Landon, and two sisters,
McKenna and Robyn). She was named after her
maternal grandmother,  Helen.
Same name, only spelled backwards. Dennis has
lived in California, Idaho, and most recently,
Layton, Utah. She graduated from Layton High
School in 1998.
Dennis was a member of
the Layton High Drill Team, which placed second in
a national competition her senior year. While in
high school, Neleh taught dance, sang in choir,
enjoyed theatre, donated time and energy to the
Special Olympics and worked closely with mentally
challenged young adults. Dennis also earned her
Certified Nurse Assistance certificate before
graduation and worked full-time with Alzheimer's
patients in a nursing care center where she was
promoted to Team Leader. During the summer, she
worked as a lifeguard.
After graduation, Neleh
attended Weber State University and earned an
Associate degree. She was accepted into the
nursing program, but decided to pursue a degree in
psychology. Dennis is currently working on a
Bachelor of Science in psychology with an emphasis
on child and family studies. In addition, she took
scuba diving lessons while in school. She also
worked part-time as a psych tech on an adult
psychiatric ward at McKay Dee Hospital.
Dennis works full-time as
a make-up artist for a major cosmetic company. In
addition, she has acquired 900 hours toward a
degree in cosmetology and is looking forward to a
long career as a make-up artist.
Neleh Dennis describes
herself as happy, outgoing and loving. Dennis
enjoys country dancing, camping, boating,
snowboarding, working out and waterskiing. She
also enjoys exploring new places, going for long
drives in the country, picnicking and
four-wheeling. Ever the adventurer, she is a
member of the Mountaineering Club. She currently
resides with her parents, three of her brothers,
her two ferrets, Bandit and Chance, and one dog,
Rascal. Neleh has a major sweet tooth and loves to
