What three words would you use to describe yourself?
Compassionate, creative and resilient
What would you say has been your proudest moment so far as a Cabrini student?
This is such a difficult question just because Cabrini has given me so many opportunities that I am beyond proud of. However, I am hands down most proud of being the Editor-in-Chief of the Loquitur last year. The beautiful creations my team members made led us to be finalists for Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker for Best Front Page Newspaper and College Media Association Pinnacle for Best Editorial Illustration.
How did it feel being nominated for Miss Cabrini?
Honestly, so honored. I just felt like it was so sweet that the Ambassadors nominated me!
How would you describe your ideal date?
I’m crazy and love doing anything active. Whether we go for a hike, go out for dinner, go dancing, go to a concert or just relax and make dinner together – I really just appreciate spending time with them.
Who inspires you and why?
My siblings. I’m honored and so lucky that I can call my two sisters and two brothers my best friends. From the day my younger sister, Samantha, was born – my life changed for the better. I honestly wouldn’t be where I am today without them.
Also, Malala Yousafzai. Her inspiration is what is helping to transform our world for a better, equal society. I look up to her relentlessness and hope one day I could help transform our world for the better.
What is one thing you hope to accomplish before graduating?
I have the opportunity to create an award-winning website with some of the most exceptional communication seniors on wealth inequality. So I just really want to help us move forward and finish our beauty.
What do you hope to be doing after graduation?
I plan on volunteering and doing some service out of the country and then hopefully getting a full time job at a non-profit as the social media manager.
