My mom and dad back at home. They always remind me to never give up and keep on chasing my goals. My old high school teacher and friend, Ms. Wammack, has been a huge help with everything in my academic and professional career. She is someone I look up to and gives me guidance with everything.
Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
My jan term freshman year was so fun! Marilyn Sosa and Bria Fletcher never fail to make me laugh and put a smile on my face. Even through the hardships freshman year, they both have stuck by me throughout my four years. I enjoyed the times we had running to late night, exploring the city with them, and skateboarding around campus!
My Next Chapter
I will be moving to Silicon Valley and pursue a career in Sales.

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.

My favorite Saint Mary's memory would have to be playing volleyball with my best friends and traveling to compete in tournaments.
My Next Chapter
I plan on running my online tutoring company after leaving Saint Mary's but I also am going to keep looking for job opportunities around the Bay Area.

My greatest supporters are my family, friends, and professors! My family was always supportive of me and the decisions I made while in school, and made my online school experience at home more enjoyable. My friends were always there for me and always down for spontaneous adventures, where we made so many fun memories together. My professors were encouraging and caring, and were always helpful.
Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
My favorite SMC memory would be all the spontaneous iTea runs during the week! As a boba lover myself, I always enjoyed taking a nice walk/Lyft to get boba so I could finish all my homework!
My Next Chapter
So far I'm applying to jobs and internships and seeing which company would be the best fit for me. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for me!

My parents, Sharon and Harold Thomas. The two that have given me everything I need to succeed, especially their love. My brother Jack and the entire Boselli family I am lucky enough to be apart of. It has been an honor to continue the tradition as a Saint Mary's student with so many of you. Finally my grandmother Betty Boselli, who leads with grace and elegance.
Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
Studying abroad in Rome, Italy in the Fall of 2020 was easily one of my favorite memories during my time at Saint Mary's. My other favorite memory during my four years was living with my six best friends during my senior year. Sprigs, Sadie, Sarrina, Claire, Alex and Katie, it is a gift to know you and experience college with you.
My Next Chapter
After graduation I will spend the next two years in service. I have accepted a position with FOCUS (The Fellowship of Catholic University Students). In this role I will be placed on a college campus serving the students there. Through Bible studies, sacraments, service opportunities, and national conferences, I hope to invest deeply in students’ lives and build them up.
