Why do you think it's important to give back to USD?

It allows for students, the university, and the community to come together and grow as one. I hope that through my role with the Foundation, I can help students have same positive experience during their time at USD as I did.

What is a fun fact about you that most people don’t know?

I currently hold 2 school records for indoor and outdoor shot put for the Women’s Track and Field team. In 2017, I also placed 14th at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships as a Coyote.

What is one item you can’t live without at your desk?

I always have some sort of fidget toy that keeps my mind working and surprisingly helps me think. Usually, the fidget makes a noise as well.
