Mary Maidment: Service

Hi! My name is Mary Maidment and I am from Portland, Oregon. I am studying neuroscience with a minor in psychology on the pre-med track. On campus, I work as an events assistant and as an Ambassador, frequently giving tours. When I have free time, I love to be outside hiking, shopping, intramural sports, workout classes, and spending time with friends. This year, my team won our softball and volleyball intramural championships!! I have been busy watching the new Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season and just finished Scandal. What drew me to Setons was the Service pillar. Since I was young, my family has made an effort to be actively involved in different forms of service in our community. We spent time at our church, local food bank, community garden, and my favorite was making clothing bags for children in need. I loved picking outfits and giving toys, games, and other activities.

Allyson Barragan: Service

    Hi!! My name is Ally and I am from Los Angeles, CA. I’m a Biology Major on the pre-med track! I love trying new coffee shops, thrifting, and spending quality time with friends. I am so so grateful I joined Setons this year and have been so lucky to be surrounded by such a great group of girls. Being part of Setons has allowed me to connect more deeply with both the Gonzaga and Spokane communities, while creating positive and lasting change through service and meaningful relationships.
                                      
    One of my favorite parts about being in Seton's has been the service opportunities it has given me. Service has always been an important value to me, and Setons has made it so easy to get involved in meaningful and impactful ways. Some of my most memorable experiences have been handing out crowns to little girls at the Father-Daughter dance, seeing their faces light up with excitement, and spending my weekly service at the Isaac Foundation playing games, doing crafts, or simply getting to talk with the kids. Setons has not only allowed me to give back but has helped me feel more connected to the Spokane community and build relationships outside of the Gonzaga bubble.
