Annemarie Stanga: Leadership

 Hi! My name is Annemarie and I am from Denver, Colorado. I am majoring in Biochemistry and Spanish and minoring in Art History on a pre-med track. I am also a student ambassador and doing research on campus. In my free time, I love being in the mountains and doing everything outside, especially hiking! I also enjoy traveling and spending time with my family. My favorite thing about going to school in the Pacific Northwest is the coffee scene, so I'm always up for visiting a new coffee shop! One of our pillars as Setons is leadership. Leadership can take on many forms, and being a Seton means growing in both individual and communal leadership styles. By coordinating service events as one of our service chairs or by inviting a sister out for a coffee date, I have learned how to take initiative and connect with others. being a Setons has allowed me to grow in my own confidence while being surrounded by the most supportive sisters!

Ella Tran: Service

    Hi y'all! My name is Ella Tran and I’m from right here in Spokane, Washington. I’m a biochemistry major on track for medical school after I graduate. I’m incredibly lucky to have a close family with an amazing mom, a pretty cool younger brother, and an extremely goofy dog named Benny who we rescued. One thing about me is that I’m always on the go and never in the same place. I love going on random adventures and being outside, which is where you will catch me most of the time: hiking, running, backpacking, skiing, camping, you name it! I also love playing intramural sports with my friends, especially pickleball. I am a big concert girl and will find any excuse to spend my money on concert tickets. By far the best concert I’ve ever been to was Zach Bryan in Boise! Setons has been the highlight of my sophomore year. It has introduced me to truly amazing women who I am fortunate enough to call some of my best friends and I will forever be grateful. 


    The pillar I have chosen to reflect on is service. Being a member of Setons has really influenced my love for service and giving back to the community. Growing up in Spokane, I have been given the opportunity to volunteer at many different organizations and charities which has been a big part of my life. Joining Setons has given me the opportunity to volunteer in new places with amazing girls. During my weekly service placement at the Hutton Settlement, I was fortunate enough to build stronger relationships with the girls in my service group as well as with the children and staff we have been working with. The Hutton Settlement has been a place that I have fallen in love with volunteering at and has been a highlight of my week. We are able to bring some positivity to these children and they are able to reflect it right back to all of us. Our weekly and monthly service projects have been a way for all of us to connect with each other while making a difference in the Gonzaga and Spokane community.
