This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emmanuel chapter.

Meet ECHabitat for Humanity team member Krysta Marinelli!

Class Year: 2016

Major: Counseling and Health Psychology

Her Campus at Emmanuel: What made you choose to join EC Habitat?

Krysta Marinelli: I wanted one last adventure during my time at EC and to do more hands on service.

HCE: What are you most looking forward to on the spring break trip?

KM: I am most looking forward to seeing Colorado and learning some new build skills.

HCE: What does it mean to you to know that you are making a difference in someone’s life?

KM: It means everything that I’m able to give my spring break to help someone get into a home. Service has been a huge part of my time at EC and I think this is the greatest way to give back.

HCE: What is your favorite thing to do (or what you hope to do) on the build?

KM: Last year I went on ASB NOLA and I loved demo-ing the house… this year I’m just excited to build instead of tear down.

HCE: Favorite memory with EC Habitat?

KM: Meeting new people, faculty and staff included

HCE: What is a mantra or quote that you live by?

KM: “I will not walk backward in life” – J.R.R. Tolkien
