Favorite place on campus: I really enjoyed being in the library!! It was a great spot for me to talk with friends, do some last minute studying for a test, or have a little quiet time in my day!
Activities at Pius X: Captain of Thunderettes, student body treasurer for Student Council, Ambassadors, National Honors Society, SOADA club,
What is/was your favorite class at Pius X, and why? My favorite class was AP Calculus with Ms. Driewer! I learned to love the challenge of the class and enjoyed the group work. The group work allowed me to deepen relationships with peers I had never previously met, and the class, as a whole, was fun!
How has your faith impacted your education, or how has your education impacted your faith? Faith has impacted my education in numerous ways since it is the foundation of all learning that takes place at Pius X. Seeing God in my homework, the building, and everyone around me has helped me profoundly in my relationship with God. I have learned to trust Him wholeheartedly and let Him guide me where I am meant to go.
What are you most proud of about your time at Pius X? I am most proud of the relationships I built during my time at Pius X! High school is truly what you make of it, and I made life-long memories with friends, teachers, and staff!
Where are your plans after high school (college, military, job, etc.)? What do you plan to study? I will be attending the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota! I also earned a spot on their reputable dance team! I plan to major in chemistry with hopes of pursuing a career as a veterinarian.
