At STA, I did Cross Country all four years in the fall and I also helped out with the Admissions Department a lot. I also gave myself the role of an unofficial Star Shop Intern last semester because I’m in there pretty often. Outside of STA, I’m usually somewhere getting coffee! I also volunteer at Redemporist every other Wednesday and I love hanging out with my friends.

Why is the service you have done important to you and the STA community?

I think the service I’ve done is important to me and the STA community because a lot of great things can come from even small things. I feel like I get a lot from helping out others, so it’s a win-win. Any chance to help someone else smile is worth it. So many great parts about STA happen because of unseen helping hands, and I really love any service opportunity to make sure those events are special for other people too. Service just kind of helps the world go round.

What was your reaction to your nomination?

I was pretty surprised when I heard my name. I definitely had a happy reaction but I also didn’t really want it to be a big thing. I actually almost missed the announcement altogether; I had walked into a Goppert while Dr. May-Washington was talking about it so that was kind of funny to tell my parents.
