Valeria Lopez: Service

Hi sisters! My name is Valeria Lopez, and I’m a Public Health and Political Science major from Sunnyside, Washington, which is in Central WA about 40 minutes from Yakima! In my free time, I love exploring new restaurants and cafĂ© spots, snowboarding, and staying active; whether that’s lifting, yoga, or pilates. Fitness has become such an important part of keeping my mind and body healthy. I also recently picked up painting again, which has always been something I’ve loved since I was little, it’s super relaxing and helps me unwind after busy days. Outside of Setons, I serve as the On-Campus Senator for GSBA and sit on the Governance and Health & Safety Committees. I’m also a pre-nursing student at Spokane Community College, working toward myADN to become a public health nurse. The pillar that resonates most with me is Service. Growing up in a mostly Hispanic community where many people only spoke Spanish, my parents always encouraged me to help others by translating or volunteering...

Olivia Abler: Leadership

Hello! My name is Olivia Abler and I am from Claremont, CA. I am a Human Physiology major in the Honors Program. I currently work as an Honors Peer Mentor for the “Spokane As Text” first-year seminar. In my free time, I like to explore the outdoors, craft, go thrift shopping, and listen to audiobooks. I also love to collect miniature items.


Through Setons, I have the opportunity to volunteer at the Hutton Settlement as a youth tutor. Leadership experiences have always fostered my personal growth and passion for community engagement. The positions I held have allowed me to challenge myself, build confidence, and develop resilience. At Hutton especially, I have had to come up with creative solutions to keep students engaged, model patience, and maintain a friendly and trustworthy demeanor. I am grateful for the skills and relationships I have developed as a volunteer. One of the most fulfilling aspects of leadership is the ability to be a driving force for positive change in a community. I value any occasion where I can connect with others and work together for a common goal. I hope to act as a mentor to others and demonstrate that everyone can contribute to the betterment of their community.
