Favorite Saint Mary's Memory
I have too many favorite memories to choose just one. The time I've spent with the friends I've made at Saint Mary's has been precious to me, but the most impactful memories are those from the time I spent abroad. I was able to connect with Saint Mary's students while traveling abroad, and felt supported throughout my travels by the Study Abroad office and Professors who helped me get there.
My Next Chapter
I'm not yet sure where my next chapter will begin, but I know it will be doing the things I love and spending time with friends and family. I plan to continue to pursue and learn more in theatre and language, and spend time visiting and having fun with friends all around the world.
