What are you involved in on campus?
Seawolves Volunteer Corps - I'm the current President. I'm also a member of the Political Science Club. I've worked with Amnesty International and helped establish Seawolves Theater. Last year, I was the Vice President of the Student Senate and attempted to establish a cheerleading squad.
Why did you get involved?
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. Thought I could figure it out by jumping in and seeing if it fits. I like helping the community and seeing faces brighten when you help out. I like to listen and help people out.
What are your long-term goals and how do you think your involvement helps this?
USM, probably studying Social Work. Working with the Seawolves Volunteer Corps, I realized that while I like biology, helping people is more important to me.
Who is the person that inspires you and why?
Daniell Swartz (SMCC Alumnus, former President of Student Senate and International VP of Phi Theta Kappa). She's a working mother, full-time student, worked with fellow students. Did a lot of stuff. She made time to balance what she had to do with what she wanted to do. She helped me be a better student and focus on my own goals.
