Why are you involved with Active Minds? I like the motto of eliminating stigma for mental health issues. I think that it is an important topic that others need to be aware of.
How well do you think ASL will fit into your major of social work/education? American Sign Language can connect with my major of Social Work in numerous ways. I will have the ability to work with deaf or hard of hearing clients, especially since I work near Ohio School for the Deaf.
What is your favorite part of being involved with RSA? Why? I love being involved in the halls and helping to bond the students together.
What’s your favorite part of being a Xavier student? I love the friendships that I have formed over the years here, along with the ability to experience numerous new things that I would never have done back home.
