Alana Saeltzer: Sisterhood

    Hello! My name is Alana Saeltzer! I am from Sacramento, California and I am a second-year Nursing major here at Gonzaga. I absolutely love children, so I hope that following graduation I can work as a Registered Nurse in the NICU or the Pediatric ICU! As a Nursing major, I spend a lot of time studying. When I am not in the library, I spend a lot of time exploring local coffee shops (if you haven’t been to Atticus yet, you should go!), thrifting, and listening to music! A fun fact about me is that I went to the same high school as Greta Gerwig, so I like to brag that the movie Lady Bird is basically about me.

    My absolute favorite part of being a Seton is having the chance to engage in sisterhood! Sisterhood is what initially drew me to this club and it is such a big reason I rave about Setons to others. I attended an all-girls high school, where I first learned the value and impact of sisterhood. I grew to love being surrounded by strong women who encourage and uplift each other! I have now found sisterhood in Setons to be a backbone of my day-to-day life. I appreciate especially how Setons brings girls together who might not have normally met or spent time together otherwise. Last semester, I was placed in a weekly service group with girls who I didn’t know beforehand. By the end of the semester, we all became really close friends and I still find myself leaning on them for support or encouragement. Setons is basically having 29 built-in friends and cheerleaders who are always there for you!
