My Greatest Supporters

My amazing family: Mom (my #1 & fab cheerleader), Dad, Gram, Nonno, Zia, and Uncle Dave; I wouldn't have made it through SMC without their immense love and support. These spectacular professors: Tom Poundstone, Maria Grazia De Angelis Nelson, and Molly Metherd. Wonderful buds: Colette, Arden, Franny, and Natalie. Massive thanks and love to all of you!!

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

Every summer of Orientation and WoW will always be close to my heart; having a blast with NSFP, fellow Orientation Leaders and WoWies for three years has meant the world. Hosting KSMC radio shows, rockin' out to music, and having the honor to be on the KSMC exec. team and GM.

My Next Chapter

I've applied to several grad. schools for English, and I'm looking forward to spending this upcoming summer in Sacramento with family and friends.
