When I began my studies at Seattle University, I was in search of ways to connect with my community. Within my first few days on campus, I sought out Campus Ministry where I found the small but mighty Jewish Student Union. Throughout my first year, Seattle U’s JSU provided me a group of students who cultivated a family-like atmosphere where we bonded over our religious upbringings. This sense of comfort helped ease my transition into college. On this Advisory Council, I look forward to exploring how other religions and spiritualities can work together to provide this same sense of familiarity and support to other college students.

In addition to being on the CEIE Advisory Council, I am in the Honors Program and am pursuing a degree in Business Analytics. I also serve as the Director of Membership for Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional business fraternity, and am the President of the Jewish Student Union. Further, I stay engaged with campus life through my work with the Department of Student Success and Outreach, and through my role on the Advisory Council of the Albers Placement Center.
