Why did you choose Rosary?
I chose Rosary because it has always felt like home. I know that I can express myself fully here.

 

What do you love most about Rosary?
What I love most about Rosary is the empowering female environment. Everyone around me has been nothing but completely encouraging. I feel like I can accomplish anything, and I know my education at Rosary is the foundation for success.

How has your faith grown at Rosary?
My faith has grown at Rosary through the emphasis on personal prayer. My prayer life has been so much stronger since coming to Rosary. I love praying multiple times a day and with my classmates before class.

How has Rosary helped you grow as a leader?
Rosary has helped me grow as a leader simply by providing me with so many opportunities! Leadership looks different for everyone, and each role is a learning experience, but it’s not possible to develop those skills without the opportunity to step into those roles in the first place.

What is your favorite tradition or memory at Rosary?
It has to be Red and Gold. As a Script Captain, it was such a surreal experience to watch my show literally come to life.

What advice would you give to future Royals?
I would tell them to pick and choose what they’re involved in wisely. Often at Rosary, you get caught comparing yourself to your classmates who are involved in just about everything, and sometimes it feels like you aren’t doing enough. I would say pick one or two roles that you truly love, and give them all your time and effort. Don’t spread yourself too thin, do what you’re passionate about, it will benefit you in the long run.
