During my freshman year, I put together a baseball clinic to benefit the Make A Wish Foundation. I was just 18 years old, but there was never any ‘wait, let’s maybe not do this right now.’ Instead, the University was like, ‘All right, what can we do to help?’ It was empowering. With service such a big part of what I did at Marywood, I now want to help others in my career. I’m in the non-profit audit field, helping service organizations work more efficiently so they can accomplish their goals.
