Laila Zommers: Sisterhood

     Hello! My name is Laila Zommers and I’m from Seattle, WA. I’m double majoring in Accounting and Business Administration (with a Finance concentration). I am the oldest of 3, and my younger sister (17) and younger brother (15) are my best friends! Joining Setons this year has truly been one of the best decisions I have EVER made. Outside of Setons, I am an active member in the Gonzaga Women in Business club. I love to cook, go on runs, hang out with friends, shop, and explore the Spokane coffee scene.                                            Out of our three pillars, I have resonated the most with Sisterhood as it’s the backbone of everything we do in Setons.

Alysa Kotsakis: Service

    Hi! My name is Alysa Kotsakis. I am from Mililani, HI, central on the island of Oahu. I am a Nursing student and plan on becoming a Nurse Practitioner. I also play drums for the Bulldog Band and love playing and traveling for the basketball games. Besides the band, I love to spend my free time with the Hawaii Pacific Islander Club, Delight club, and especially Setons! 


    I will be reflecting on the service pillar. Service is an important part of my life both at home and at school. I volunteer at my Church’s Sunday School as an office aid and classroom assistant for the younger classrooms. I also volunteer with the Best Buddies Non-Profit which builds friendships for students with intellectual disabilities. These experiences with children have prepared me for my time serving the community through Setons. Once a week I volunteer with my small group at the Boys and Girls Club where I mostly work with Kindergarten and 1st Graders. We play games, work on homework, and chit-chat during supper. I love every minute there and will always remember the connections I made with the kids. The Setons also do a monthly service event and my favorite so far was with the Isaac Foundation where we handed out candy and did trick-or-treating activities for children with Autism. Both the weekly and monthly services have helped me connect with my community and I look forward to my time doing service every week!
