Mary Maidment: Service

Hi! My name is Mary Maidment and I am from Portland, Oregon. I am studying neuroscience with a minor in psychology on the pre-med track. On campus, I work as an events assistant and as an Ambassador, frequently giving tours. When I have free time, I love to be outside hiking, shopping, intramural sports, workout classes, and spending time with friends. This year, my team won our softball and volleyball intramural championships!! I have been busy watching the new Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season and just finished Scandal. What drew me to Setons was the Service pillar. Since I was young, my family has made an effort to be actively involved in different forms of service in our community. We spent time at our church, local food bank, community garden, and my favorite was making clothing bags for children in need. I loved picking outfits and giving toys, games, and other activities.

Sophia Borella- Service


Hi everyone, my name is Sophia Borella and I am from Mountain View, California. I am a nursing major here at Gonzaga and love being involved in the Setons. Club! My family consists of my Mom and Dad, my twin sister Juliette, and my two dogs Milo and Lucy. In my free time I love spending time with friends, exercising, and finding new brands of coffee to try (Clark’s Fork oat milk latte is my go-to!).

In the Setons club, I personally love the service pillar and the amazing opportunities it has to offer. Last semester I volunteered at the North Town Girl and Boys club and spent with kindergarteners. While spending most of my time going to classes and studying in the library, service offered me the perfect outlet I needed to find more balance. I formed many deep connections with the children just by coloring pictures and playing basketball. Many of the children opened up to me about their home life situations. It brought an immense amount of perceptive into my life knowing the struggles their families face. Since this service location was off campus, it allowed me to understand the Spokane community outside of Gonzaga. Ultimately, completing service every week caused me to become more grateful for the privileges I have in my own life. I wish to continue growing together with my fellow sisters and grow as an induvial through service experiences.
