How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?
My two majors have really complimented and supported one another, helping me become a strong storyteller, an informed analyst, and an engaged citizen.
What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your Gonzaga career?
Being asked by my faculty members to speak for my fellow theatre students this year in several capacities has made me very proud. I want to help amplify the needs of our community to make us stronger and leave this place better than when I started.
