I am from Prairie Village, Kansas, which is a small suburb of Kansas City. I have one older brother and two younger sisters. My siblings are my best friends. I am lucky enough to have my sister, Jane attend Creighton with me this year as a freshman! I have attended Catholic School my entire life. My mother is a teacher at a Catholic grade school in Prairie Village and my father is a director at Sprint.

On campus I am a Magis Ambassador, an active member of Pi Beta Phi sorority, a reporter for the Creightonian (school newspaper), and a decurion for the Freshman RSP Class (much like a Freshman Orientation Class).

In my spare time I love to read, watch movies with friends and go running. My favorite book of all time is To Kill A Mockingbird. I love too many movies to have a favorite! I love just about any romantic Comedy.

My reasoning for wanting to participate in writing these reflections is simple: I love to write. Combining two of my biggest passions, my spirituality and writing, is a huge opportunity for me. I hope to allow my spiritual life to grow from participating in these reflections.
