What brought you to GW?
In high school I was involved in Key Club, and one of my friends in the organization introduced me to GW. I looked into and it seemed like a perfect fit!
What organizations are you involved in?
I’m the secretary for Epsilon Sigma Alpha (GW’s only community service sorority) a GPS mentor, and Office Manager for the Advocacy Centers for Students; which includes the Student Association, MCGB, RHA, and Class Council.
How do you juggle schoolwork and all of your other responsibilities?
Compartmentalization: I set aside different and specific times for work, school, and other activities. It is also helpful that a lot of my classes are studio classes, so I get work done during them.
What are your plans after graduation?
I want to go to grad school to become an architect, specifically the University of Virginia.
What would you say is your greatest achievement?
In high school I was a Key Club International Trustee. I was in charge of an organization of 260,000 members along with a board of 10 people.
What is your highest aspiration?
To become an architect and open my own firm.
