Why did you choose to apply to the Close Scholars program?
Service is my passion, so I was delighted to find a group of like-minded people!
What do you look forward to as a part of the Close Scholars program?
Forming relationships with all kinds of people.
Why is being a servant leader important to you, and why should it be important to others?
Because it helps not only you but the community thrive; it benefits all people.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
After I attain my undergraduate degree I plan on working as a child-welfare social worker while pursuing my Master's in Clinical Social Work.
What is your favorite thing to do on campus or in the surrounding areas?
Go for walks! I love to be active, and it is a beautiful area.
Where is your favorite place to travel to and why, or where would you like to travel to and why?
I love the mountains, they just provide me a sense of peace I get nowhere else. I've always wanted to travel to Ireland. My family immigrated from Ireland a few generations back, and I have red hair myself-- I feel like I belong there!
Fun fact?
I am a major fan of coffee-- I'll drink all types, and I love to learn about how it's made.
