Sabine Pigg is an active member of her Wilson High School community and can’t wait to get involved at Santa Clara. As an Associated Student Body leader in student government, she has co-headed four fundraising committees, raising a total of over $5,000 for the Community Transitional School for under-privileged children in Portland. This has led her to realize her passion for community outreach and service. In 2014, Sabine spent two months of her summer in Costa Rica, living with two different families, attending school, and learning to adapt to new linguistic and cultural environments. She also plays varsity tennis and soccer, competes for Wilson’s Mock Trial team, founded the school Badminton Club, and is a Chemistry and Math tutor for middle and high school students. At SCU, Sabine hopes to be able to combine her love of international studies and community service with the sciences and find a way to make a difference in the world.
