Amaya: Service

Hi everyone!! My name is Amaya and I am a biology major with a minor in psychology. Outside of Setons, I am also a Resident Assistant (RA) in Catherine-Monica Hall and I also work with the Athletic Facilities department here at GU (you might be able to spot me on the court at basketball games!) Outside of school and work, you can usually find me chilling in my room watching TV shows or movies or talking to my parents and two little brothers on FaceTime. Something I'm looking forward to in the next couple of months is planning our club's charity ball! I hope to see you all there!
I actually decided to join the Setons mainly because of the service pillar! I loved volunteering for local charities and organizations in high school and I wanted to continue to give back while in college. The organizations the Setons choose to volunteer for mainly focus around children and women organizations in the Spokane area and I loved this about the Setons. In my hometown I loved volunteering for organizations with similar goals in uplifting the women and children in the community. As a freshman last year, I struggled to find a consistent place to volunteer with my schedule. With the Setons, I love how we are placed in a consistent weekly service group with a couple of other Setons along with also participating in monthly service projects with the entire group. It is so heartwarming and encouraging to see all of my sisters and I be able to serve at these organizations and projects. I will forever be grateful I was able to do these service hours with other women who also have a passion for service!
