Fun Fact: 
I am a member of the “Touchdown Team” for the 49ers, meaning I run the flag on the field for the pregame, and after every 49ers score.
 
“Through Alpha Sigma Nu, I have been reminded that the true essence of leadership is grounded in the principles of scholarship, loyalty, and service. I hope to contribute to an ASN community that embodies these ideals and leads by example, inspiring others to do the same."

Fun Fact: 
In High School, I ran a honey business and converted my car into a bee-mobile. I completely forgot I had a giant billboard on top of my car and picked up my prom date in this mobile marketing machine. Needless to say, she did not talk to me much at prom.
 
"At a Jesuit institution, we are called to pursue more than just academic success. Through the values of scholarship, loyalty, and service, I believe Alpha Sigma Nu can inspire students to grow not only in knowledge but in character. I hope that ASN at SCU will strive to graduate more than students—we aim to nurture saints, individuals who embody integrity, compassion, and a commitment to serving others."

Fun Fact: 
Spent 4 hours in Paris in the line for Notre Dame only to get herded out by the gendarmes when I got in. It burned down 10 minutes later.
 
“My hope is that the strong-willed and capable members of ASN can serve as inspiration and proof that following one’s heart and one’s principles is the best mark of a good person.”
