I used to go there for advice, to watch movies, and to simply hangout. I loved bonding with them and miss all of them so much. One time we all went to Father Gillespie’s Halloween party, which was pretty random but a lot of fun.
HC: What was your biggest academic accomplishment at sju?
KM: Learning how to use the 3D printer in the math department. It was an independent study project that was solely based off of my own skills and I ended up teaching a lot of the faculty how to use it. It was a big confidence booster.

HC: What is your typical outfit attire?
KM:  I switch it up all the time but right now since I’m student teaching I’ve been wearing a lot of dresses. Throughout the school year I typically wear skinny jeans and a lot of tank tops with cardigans, button-down shirts, sweaters, and basically anything!
HC: Flowers or chocolates?
KM: I love chocolate!
HC: Starbucks or dunkin?
KM: I would choose neither and go to Wawa. I like Starbucks but Wawa’s coffee is way better.
