What's a fun fact about you? 
I am a legacy at Catholic University. My mom was in the class of '85 and I actually got assigned her same dorm my freshman year.

What drew you to Washington, D.C. and The Catholic University?
I loved all of the opportunities that the city had to offer both as a student entering the professional world and as a way to experience new things (Check out my segment on the College Tour!)

What is your favorite Catholic University tradition?
The Catholic U Orientation Program. I loved it so much freshman year that I served on the staff for the next three! I met some of my best friends at orientation. The program was definitely one of the highlights of my college experience.

Any words of advice for incoming Catholic University students?
Make the most out of your college experience and participate in as much as you can. Join clubs, go to campus events, and explore the city.
