When I say that every single staff and faculty member of this school genuinely cares about each of the students, I mean it. There is not a single teacher that has ignored me or looked away in the halls when passing, and I can feel their excitement when they see us dressed up for mass, laughing together, winning a sports game, or even just saying "hi" to each other in the halls. I promise that you will find friends here even if you transfer in the midst of your junior year. Everyone belongs.

What clubs, organizations, sports, service projects, etc. are you involved in?

Academic decathlon, yearbook, music ensemble, Renaissance, ambassadors, residential life council, round square, animal club

What is your favorite spot on campus and why?

I absolutely love the senior lawn because I get a crystal clear view of both the sunrise and sunset every day. The lawn is such a versatile location for meetings, parties, games, or just hanging out with friends; its both serene and lively which makes it the perfect location in my opinion.

What's the best thing about living in the boarding hall?

I would have to say the infinite access to teachers and support. If I need help for any reason, I can easily ask any one of the staff and they will assist me in solving the problem. It is such a blessing and I am so grateful to be here every single moment.

What is your career aspiration?

I have thought a lot about becoming a magazine editor or publisher. I have recently gotten really into digital design and I think that a career in this field would bring me lots of joy.

What's your proudest accomplishment so far?

If you ask me next year, it will definitely be graduating from Flintridge Sacred Heart. But so far, I was really proud of myself when I got the opportunity to represent my grade on behalf of the students in the Residential Life Hall on the Junior Board.

What three words describe you?

curious, peaceful, optimistic

What's your favorite class at Flintridge Sacred Heart and why?

I would have to say Digital Design and Photojournalism (Yearbook). I feel really comfortable taking that class because it is just so different than any other class I have taken. It especially moves me when I see the students' faces light up as they receive their yearbooks in May.

What do you love about Flintridge Sacred Heart?

I love the beautiful location; friendly staff; amazing weather; the abundance of events; the masses; and all the different co-curriculars, clubs, and affinity groups available to us.
