I am proud to say that I am originally from Bismarck, North Dakota. I have two sisters and one brother, and my whole family still lives in North Dakota. I attended Saint Mary's Central High School, and I was very involved in tennis and track throughout high school.

During my time at Creighton, I have been involved in weekly adoration, Rosary Club, Creighton Cortina Community, National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and several intramural sports. Currently, I serve as the president of Rosary Club and coordinate adoration on campus each Monday. I love to go running and play almost any type of sport. I am so glad and excited I have the opportunity to participate in this ministry!

Writing These Reflections:

I believe these reflections are a great opportunity for me to separate myself from my own thoughts and worries and recognize how God is speaking to me through the daily readings. I am called to discover God in the events and actions of my own life, and I think participating in this ministry will help me better achieve this challenge. Also by reading other reflections, I believe I will more fully realize the importance of the Church and its ability to support me along my faith journey.
