Brandy Grey: Leadership

    Hi everyone! My name is Brandy Grey and I am from Las Vegas, NV. I am studying Business Administration with concentrations in Accounting and Information Systems with a minor in Sports Management! I am an only child who loves her extended family and whose best friend is her mom, a lifelong athlete always trying new sports, and honestly someone who is just trying to make the most out of the time she has! I am usually always running around campus and finding new things to keep me busy -- all of the opportunities are one of the reasons I love Gonzaga! Recently I have been rewatching my favorite show, One Tree Hill, and I have been watching a lot of Wicked due to part 2 coming out in a couple weeks! 

    

    One of the things that intrigued me about Setons was the Leadership pillar! In high school, leadership allowed me to grow from a shy girl too afraid to put herself out there, to being good at public speaking, leading different initiatives on campus by the time I was graduating. When I saw that there was an opportunity at Gonzaga that would allow me to grow closer with 30 other girls and another opportunity to grow myself (as a now adult on her own in college), I was called to join the organization. This year, I have the pleasure and honor to serve as Treasurer on the Executive Board, and it has been one of the most fulfilling, and at times, challenging roles. I have learned how to have balance and hard conversations while separating out the sisterhood and seriousness of the role. This has challenged me as a leader to understand how to work with and help people, and to also understand them individually. I have really learned to love Leadership and the achievement of helping others around me achieve greater things. I am a firm believer that you can only get better by challenging yourself, and when I am in these leadership roles, I am not only able to support my community, but I am also able to grow more into the person I want to be.
