What was your favorite part of attending St. Mary’s?  

I am certain that the people I have met and the relationships I have built through the years will last me for many years to come. 

Why did you choose to attend St. Mary’s?  

I truly fell in love with the heartwarming community feel. 

What is your favorite St. Mary’s tradition?  

Fiesta Oyster Bake is my favorite St. Mary’s tradition, because that’s where I was first introduced to chicken on a stick and fried Oreos all at once! 

What would you do if you won the lottery?  

I would buy my mom a house, start a business and take a six-month vacation across Europe. 

What is the most interesting place you’ve traveled?  

Sedona, Arizona, is my favorite city. Even though I go there every year, I always find something that amazes me and helps me be at peace with myself. 

Who is someone you admire, and why?  

I admire my mom. She is one of the strongest and most independent women I know. She moved to the U.S. at the age of 24 and raised me to always fight for my dreams. 

What are some causes you care about?  

I feel strongly about immigration rights, preventing child abuse, ending homelessness and hunger relief. 

Who would you most like to swap places with for a day?  

I would swap places with the CEO of Costco because it is my favorite store, I love their business model, and I could try a lot of their samples. 

Who is your favorite superhero?  

The creator of Hawaiian pizza! (Yes, pineapple does belong on pizza.)
