Favorite memory from Santa Clara
- So many. From an academic standpoint, it was working with a group of students on a project where we had to research a business we wanted to launch, then present the business plan to our class. It sticks out because it was an incredible amount of work, but we all did an amazing job. From a personal standpoint, it was a sweet moment my Freshman year where I met my boyfriend at a party. He was on the soccer team, and that was a sport I had not heard of prior.

Things I am good at...
- I am good at bringing the sunshine into a room (upbeat, happy, interested in people). I am a natural organizer and fixer. I have a knack for taking things that exist and making them better---making things 'read' better, making things run more efficiently, seeing what is missing and filling in gaps. I love administration, and I enjoy collaborating with others to help bring ideas to life.
Expertise that I have acquired in my life and career that I bring to my term of service on the SCU Alumni Board
- I have a broad business background, and I believe it helps me look at any effort or situation from an expanded perspective. I hope I can find a way to use my love of administration and marketing communications to help in multiple efforts during my 3 years on the BOD.
