HC: Why did you choose Saint Michael’s?

HC: What is your favorite thing about SMC?
JS: The people. Everyone here is super nice and always smiling and holding the door for you.
HC: Why did you run for class president this year?
JS: I like to be involved and I have always liked leading. Being president is the perfect liaison between the study body and the student association and I know enough people to have the voices be heard.
HC: Who were your biggest inspirations?
JS: My parents, because both of them are really hard working and they have never had anything handed to them so it makes me motivated to work hard and follow in their footsteps not to mention they are really generous people which has motivated me to give back.
HC: What is your favorite SMC spot?
JS: The courtyard between the academic buildings because it is just so beautiful there. Sometimes I sit there and do work.
HC: What is your dream job?
JS: To be a manager in the hotel industry and travel the world.
HC: What is your advice to underclassmen and the class of 2020?
JS: Put yourself out there when you first get here. The worst thing that would happen is you figure out certain people aren’t meant to be your friends. You never know who you can meet.
