When did you find out you were a Homecoming Court nominee?
I actually totally forgot that homecoming court was a part of homecoming week festivities. I was surprised when I got my nomination email. It’s a great group of people and it’s been fun being a part of it.
What you are most looking forward to about Homecoming this year?
I am excited to spend time with friends celebrating being an Ambrosian. My favorite part of homecoming weekend is the Taste of Ambrose at the stadium.
How are you involved on campus?
I am involved in Habitat for Humanity, Campus Ministry, Ambrosians for Peace and Justice and Students for Occupational Therapy Association.
What are your goals for future?
I would love to take a year after I graduate to work in a volunteer corps of some kind. After that I hope to work as a traveling Occupational Therapist. I love traveling and seeing new places so that would be a way I could get paid to do that.
What is something unexpected about yourself?
I have 22 first cousins and all my siblings names start with L. I am the oldest!
