Hometown: Phoenix, AZ
Grad Program: Law School Most Excited For: Joining Ryan Hall’s community again! Serving as a Ryan Hall RA was easily the highlight of my undergrad experience. I am so grateful and thrilled to return to my home under the Dome, and excited to meet you all so soon! What I Like to Do for Fun: Hunt for $1.50 fun socks at Target to add to my fun sock collection, go on Costco runs, binge watch TV shows, FaceTime my dog Tiberius (Ty lives in Phoenix - having a long distance dog is tough), snack on sweet treats, and hang out with my family and friends! ND Undergrad: I graduated from ND in 2022, and majored in Political Science with minors in ESS, Italian, Musical Theatre, and Theology. In undergrad, I acted and directed with PEMCo, served an Admissions Intern and Tour Guide, tutored 6th-8th graders as an ACE PATH Companion, and was a Matriculate Advising Fellow. I also had the opportunity to study abroad in Rome for a summer! Post-Grad: After graduating, I stayed at Notre Dame and served as an Admissions Counselor for two years. It was such an incredible honor and privilege to meet the Classes of 2027 and 2028 through their applications! |

Major: Law School (Sadly no more majors, just law school) Most Excited For: It has been so wonderful to be back at ND and I can't wait to be a part of a dorm community again! I'm really looking forward to meeting the amazing residents of Ryan and getting to know everyone! What I Like to Do for Fun: Bake, Crossword Puzzles, Read (aka listen to audiobooks) NDUndergrad: I graduated from ND in 2022 and majored in History and FTT with minors in Digital Marketing and Irish Studies. I lived in McGlinn Hall where I was involved in hall council as a commissioner, served as McGlinn's senator, and had the privilege of being an RA! Post-Grad: After graduating, I moved to England where I got my master's degree in history from the University of Cambridge. My dissertation focused on the role of politically active women during the Northern Ireland Troubles. I was lucky enough to do a lot of travelling while living over there, so when I wasn't in the archives, I was usually rushing to catch some plane or train! |
