Did you find S-L, or did S-L find you?
S-L found me! I took my first S-L class when they opened up an S-L version of a required class for my major. It fit into my schedule and seemed like a cool pilot class to participate in. I was a freshman.

What S-L classes have you taken?
Nutrition.

What S-L classes have you TA’d for?
Nutrition, Interdisciplinary Advanced Writing in the Disciplines, and 2D Fundamentals of Space & Drawing.

What is your favorite memory relating to service-learning?
A Beyonce-themed S-LTA appreciation night called “Hyphen-licious.” Amazing. It was a crazy concept.

What would be your biggest advice for a first-time service-learning student?
Be open to the experience and know that you will get out of it what you put into it.

If you were a television character, who would you be and why?
I really connect with Wall-E. He is curious and compassionate. And cute!

What has been your favorite meal you’ve had at an S-L SL meeting?
Lily’s Pasta. Garlic bread for days.

What’s a fun fact about you?
I’ve never played the Sims. I don’t find this weird but my peers are always shocked when they find that out.
