What are you most proud of from your time at SPU?

Learning to be enter into uncomfortable and unfamiliar situations with grace and confidence. Since being at school I have made friends and learned things I never would have if I stayed in my comfort zone, and I love how I have been changed by these interactions and conversations.

What is a fun fact about you?

I love social dancing, especially swing!

What are some of your career goals? 

I want to work in ministry, and become an ordained pastor.

What is something you wish everyone knew about your major?

That is something really valuable, it has helped shape the way I relate to and understand others and the world, and I am very grateful for that. Also, it is a very fun major with an amazing community!

What is a piece of advice you’d like to leave for those still in school?

If you are too busy to sleep more than four hours every night, then you are just too busy and need to learn to say “ no” to something.
