How/Why do you want to change the world? 

Change is the result of the little things, from attainable intentions. I hope that I can leave an impact by being an authentic, dedicated, and hard-working contributor to a community. As a native Oregonian, this state truly means the world to me, and I think I will live here in the long-term. I think it would be wonderful to specifically give back to Oregon education and healthcare systems.

What are you proud to have been involved with at University of Oregon? 

One of the largest sources of joy in my life is Tri Delta. I am very fortunate to serve as the chapter president, and in doing so I have been able to help lead our organization toward goals of philanthropy, academic excellence, and sisterhood. The women of Tri Delta are not only my friends but my motivators, and I cannot imagine my time at the UO without them. I am also very proud to be part of Asklepiads pre medical society, (the oldest club on campus!), Dance Marathon, and the Clark Honors College. The CHC in particular has pushed me in and out of the classroom.

Who is your biggest role model and why? 

Call me cheesy, but it is my family! Each of my three siblings are very different, but they all are absolute studs in their respective fields, and above all else, they’re nice people. Same goes to my incredible mother and father. I strive to follow in their footsteps and do little acts of good daily, all while staying true to myself and my dreams.

What are your goals after college? 

After graduation I intend to pursue medical school. My lifelong dream has been to be a physician, and I think now more than ever, our world needs compassionate and driven medical professionals.

Which fictional character is most like yourself?

I’ve been told that Leslie Knope and I share similar qualities, and I honestly love that. So I’m going with the Parks and Rec icon herself. I think we both have a lot of “go, go, go” energy!

What is one fun fact about you? 

I was born with only one kidney!
