How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?

My Psychology and Religious Studies majors contributed to both my personal and professional development by teaching me about peoples thought processes, morals, and belief systems which will all assist me in my goals to become a lawyer.

What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your Gonzaga career?

My proudest accomplishment at Gonzaga is my Senior Thesis that I wrote for my religious studies major. I wrote about women in leadership positions in the various churches and argued for women to be reinstated to the diaconate.
