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!

Sofia Almy: Service

    Hello! My name is Sofia Almy and I am from Bonney Lake, Washington. I am a Biology major here at Gonzaga, when I'm not studying I enjoy golfing, skiing, tennis, and hiking! I also love reading, and doing crafts like knitting and crochet. Although I'm usually not a huge TV watcher, I've recently watched the Martha Steward documentary and am now her biggest fan. I'm also an avid traveler (29 countries and counting). I have 2 younger brothers and two dogs! I am a part of the fly fishing club, and Delight Ministries here on campus! I am loving being a part of Setons this semester and am looking forward to our retreat coming up!
                                            
    The pillar I am highlighting this week is service! This past semester I was placed at the Isaac Foundation which was the most fulfilling experience. I volunteered during clubhouse hours at the Isaac Foundation, which provides a space for 6th-12th grade students on the autism spectrum and with other special needs or intellectual disabilities to socialize, study, make friends, and explore new interests. Once I got to go on an adventure with some of the kids on the bus to visit a flatstick pub downtown to help them practice ordering at restaurants, crossing the street, and riding the bus! We also did smiles and frowns every week where we would go around the circle and talk about the best and worst parts of our week. I really enjoyed being able to connect with the kids and talk about their days. Overall I have loved volunteering at Isaac Foundation and although I am sad for my placement to be over I am excited to start my new placement for the semester at boys and girls club.
