How did you find out about Her Campus?
I found out about Her Campus because I knew one of the Campus Correspondents, Anna McFadden, before coming to Jefferson. I saw what she would share on Facebook and fell in love with Her Campus’ mission and wanted to be a part of it!
What about it made you want to join?
I’ve always loved writing, but as a Fashion Merch major, I don’t really get a creative writing outlet. Her Campus gives that to me! I can write about what drives and inspires me and get to use my voice to speak about topics I am passionate about.
How has your experience as a member been so far this semester?
I have gotten close to some of my fellow Her Campus girls, and I’ve loved every minute of my time as a member. Everyone cares about you and wants to see you succeed, and getting to use some of my photography background with my Her Campus fam last week was a ton of fun! It helped us all grow closer and we all had a great time taking pics around campus.
Do you have any goals for your future as a Her Campus member?
I want to inspire somebody else to not feel afraid of who they are and to believe in themselves. Some of the ideas I have for articles are a bit personal and “deep”, but I want to share them because I want to potentially help someone else who is going through the same things I did in the past
If someone asked you if they should join HC, what would you tell them?
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Any fun facts about yourself that you want the public to know?
I am a classically trained pianist of 13 years, but I love learning jazz music as well. I also play the guitar and ukulele. Most importantly, I can quote almost any episode of Always Sunny by heart and have a potentially unhealthy obsession with all things Jake Gyllenhaal.
