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.

Ava: Sisterhood



Hi! My name is Ava Pierson. I’m a Psych major with an English minor from Gig Harbor, Washington. I’m

big on mental health (hence the Psych major) and I am looking to work with kids post-college. I love

doing things for the soul like journaling, going on walks, taking naps, hiking, and eating good food.

Recently my boyfriend and I have been binge-watching Breaking Bad which is an intense show, but I

recommend it for sure! I love anything nature-related, taking pictures, board games, and car rides with

friends. That’s pretty much me!

Now let’s talk sisterhood. Sisterhood is honestly why I joined this club. Growing up I took six years of

leadership classes, so I felt like I had those down. I also, like all setons, did quite a bit of service

throughout high school. So, it makes sense that the pillar I chose to talk about is the same one that I

originally lacked. This club has immersed me in such a special and unique set of girls. There are so many

different personalities, and we all have varying hobbies and majors. One of the highlights of these past

few months is my sister date with Aiva where we went to a supply store and were given an invigorating

lecture on the importance of self-defense. Also, I can’t even begin to describe how many hilarious

moments Karli and I had at the Boys and Girls Club. There were dance battles, singing contests, races,

handmade drawings, stealing of phones, snacking, and a whole lot of sass. This sisterhood has made me

feel so loved and part of something bigger than myself.
