One of my favorite memories at USD is joining the student organization Campus Activities Board. CAB has provided so many experiences and introduced me to students, faculty, and friends who inspire me to be a leader that guides with a passion and a purpose.

Some of my favorite highlights include Dakotathon and taking on the role of morale captain. National Student Exchange and studying away in the Virgin Islands, and being a member of greek life and my sorority, Pi Beta Phi. These extracurriculars heightened my overall experience and ultimately made me a better student and professional by requiring me to step out of my comfort zone and interact with others in new ways.
