Bio: I joined SGA because of how much I love our school and want to help contribute to all students/faculty pride in Lasell. It's a great way to get to know students and staff and help have a hand in making the Lasell experience great for everyone. I like that Lasell offers so much opportunity for students to grow, discover, and connect over their four years here. From study abroad, to school-wide presentations/talks, service trips, connected learning emphasis and more, Lasell has amazing things to offer to their students and I absolutely love that about our school. A goal of mine for SGA this coming year is to have our organization connect a lot more in a fun and social way with the student body to create a stronger relationship. A fun fact about me is that I have "lived" in 5 different countries in one month.
