Katya Cerny - Sisterhood

    Hello there! My name is Katya Cerny and I am a Business Major with an Italian Minor and I grew up in San Diego, California! Some of my favorite things in life include going to concerts, swimming at the beach, getting coffee, and thrifting.
    Reflecting on the three pillars of Setons, Sisterhood, Service, and Leadership I found myself very passionate about the idea of Sisterhood and how transformative it can be. Having gone to an all-girls high school, I learned how to be my unapologetic self and to cultivate friendships that help you improve yourself in all aspects of life. Once I began attending Gonzaga, I found myself longing for a group of supportive women to build connections with and eventually stumbled upon the Setons of Gonzaga! I am so grateful to be a part of this group of women who are so passionate about their service and connections with one another. Women are truly inspiring as they are willing to persevere through life and push the boundaries that the world has created for them. Sisterhood only strengthens that will and cultivates it into many different aspects of one’s life. When you feel the support of your sisters, nothing is in your way, and Setons has truly encouraged me to take the world on by being myself! Being able to serve the Spokane community alongside my sisters has also been a very powerful experience, as I am building my friendships with such amazing people while also using my privilege to serve those from so many different walks of life.
