Sláinte! (Cheers in Gaelic) During college I spent a semester studying aborad in Tully Cross, Ireland. I recently graduated from Aquinas College (located in Grand Rapids, MI) with a Bachelors degree in Public Adminstration. I was a resident assistant and a student leader for Aquinas’ service learning trip to the Christian Appalachian Project during my senior year.

During the past few summers I have worked for the Waterford Parks and Recreation department as day camp at the Hess-Hathaway Farm Park; I was able to work with children in the town I grew up in as well as learn all about farm animals.

I am super excited to live in Chicago at the House of Connections community and volunteer at the Howard Area Community Center as the Health Coordinator. I enjoy the ocean, the color purple, my pet car Neo, yoga, and coffee.
