What's a fun fact about you? 
I am a legacy at Catholic ´ºÉ«Ö±²¥. My mom was in the class of '85 and I actually got assigned her same dorm my freshman year.

What drew you to Washington, D.C. and The Catholic ´ºÉ«Ö±²¥?
I loved all of the opportunities that the city had to offer both as a student entering the professional world and as a way to experience new things ()

What is your favorite Catholic ´ºÉ«Ö±²¥ tradition?
The Catholic U Orientation Program. I loved it so much freshman year that I served on the staff for the next three! I met some of my best friends at orientation. The program was definitely one of the highlights of my college experience.

Any words of advice for incoming Catholic ´ºÉ«Ö±²¥ students?
Make the most out of your college experience and participate in as much as you can. Join clubs, go to campus events, and explore the city.
