Where are you from?
Grand Rapids, Michigan

What do you like to do?
Play basketball, spend time with friends and family, read, watch football and basketball (Go Blers and Go Blue!)

How are you involved in Community Service & Action?
Since the start of my sophomore year, I’ve been involved in Loyola4Chicago.

Why do you engage in the community?
For a few reasons. One, part of my faith as a Christian is the belief that we ought to give back and help those in need. Also, living in a community as diverse and rich as Chicago and Rogers Park inspires me to go out and become more immersed in the community.

What is one of your favorite stories from your community engagement experiences?
Last year, I volunteered at Centro Romero, a primarily Latino after-school program. Once the kids warmed up to me and grew more comfortable with me, they tried to sneak sentences by me in Spanish to their friends or make fun of my Spanish accent (I’m a non-native Spanish speaker---it’s my minor at school). I loved being able to joke and interact with these kids and have them feel comfortable enough to be themselves around me.

How are you involved at Loyola outside of CSA?
I am the Vice President of Men’s Club Basketball, I’m a lector for Mass at Madonna della Strada Chapel, I am member of Alpha Sigma Nu (Jesuit Honors Society), and I am also a part of the Honors College Mentorship Program. Plus, going to basketball games are always at the top of my to-do list.

What is your favorite place on campus?
This is a really tough one, but if I had to pick it would be Gentile Arena. Basketball game days with a packed student section are one of the best parts of being a student here.

What advice would you give to an incoming student at Loyola?
Enjoy the ride! I’m somehow already over halfway through my time here, and it feels like yesterday when I first committed to go to school here. LUC is an incredible place, and do your best to enjoy every second you get here.
