"My liberal arts education at Matteo Ricci College prepared me to grow constantly as a person. I strive to think critically, understand cultural contexts, and act with integrity as I work to solve problems in a continually changing world. The Jesuit values of Seattle University provided me the grounding to make ethical and far-sighted decisions in this modern environment. Through my experiences, I learned the value of myself as an individual, the importance of participating in community, and the call to service by God."
