One Gift You Bring to MDI: Creativity, both in design & ministry! Whether it is designing a post for the MDI social media or creating tangible pieces that help the institute flow, I’m excited to bring my love for art and design to MDI this year!

Why MDI?

MDI is the perfect opportunity to combine all my biggest passions: ministry with the young Church, designing products and branding for a mission I love, showcasing the beauty of the Catholic faith, and working with other college students to inspire a passion for having a relationship with Jesus. It’s an encounter with God that students in high school need and I am stoked to be a part of it!

Why Marian University?

I chose Marian because of the opportunities that a small campus and community could bring me. The people of Marian (my fellow students, the community of San Dam, and the mentors in the MU staff) create a space where I can try new things and be a leader, while also having a safe place to land when juggling college life becomes difficult.

More about you! Fun facts, experiences, & hobbies:

My favorite things to do in my free time are painting, reading, and spending hours discovering new music. I came into college with a few different majors before leaning into my love for art + design, where I feel like God has made my gifts flourish both in school, work, and prayer.
