I Joined FHA Because... I joined FHA because I had a wonderful experience touring the honors village and talking to the ambassadors when I was a prospective student, and I wanted to give that same experience to others. I also really enjoy chatting with incoming students and giving them advice regarding things that I have learned in my time here.
My Favorite Honors Course was... my Analytical Writing course that I took my freshman year to fulfill my diversity emphasis. It was an incredibly interesting class that was filled with fascinating conversations and field trips to the theatre. I recommend it to everyone I can.
Favorite Spot on Campus: Highland Bowl and Tree Ring Research Library. That whole area is beautiful with large trees and soft grass. The hydrologic plant next to it makes it sound like you’re in a rain forest!
Fun Fact: My name means party, dance, and music in Irish Gælic, and it is a huge part of why I am really connected to the Irish community of Arizona.
