My greatest supporters would start with my parents who have always been there to help me through anything. My little sister, Madrey, is also at Saint Mary's and I could always count on her if I ever asked her for a favor. Over my 4 years at Saint Mary's my roommates and friends have been with me every step of the way so I want to give them a shoutout.
Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
My favorite Saint Mary's memory would have to be playing volleyball with my best friends and traveling to compete in tournaments.
