Eleanor Johnson: Service

Hi! My name is Eleanor Johnson, and I am from Snohomish, Washington. I am majoring in Accounting and Business Administration with a concentration in Management Information Systems and have a minor in dance. Outside of class I work with Campus Kitchens, a program on campus that takes leftover food from campus dining to cook warm meals that are then served to Gonzaga Family Haven and O’Malley Senior Center. Along with Setons I am apart of Women in Business, Beta Alpha Psi, and the involved in the Gonzaga dance program. In my free time I like to read, get coffee, take workout classes, and watch Gilmore Girls.

 

I joined Girl Scouts in first grade and ever since, Service has been extremely important to me and something I strive to keep a part of my life. Growing up in Girl Scouts allowed me to recognize the importance of helping those in my community from an early age and has ultimately led me to be the person I am today. Service was the pillar that drove me to join Setons, and I’m so glad for the service opportunities I have had so far and yet to come. Last semester I volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club, which gave me the opportunity to connect with kids in the Spokane community. The kids love to perform talent shows, showcasing their individual talents whether that be performing a dance, doing cartwheels across the stage, or performing a magic trick; it was always fun to witness and encourage their talents. Along with my weekly service at Boys and Girls Club, I have loved getting to serve at various organizations in Spokane every month. Getting to connect with the Spokane community and making a difference has been the highlight of my semester and I am so excited to continue in the new year!
