What do you like about the Gonzaga community?
When a ZAG helps a ZAG in need; the hard working advocates for social justice; the spirit of service; the moments when we believe “ZAG” really includes all types of people.
What do you like to do when you aren't at work?
I like to tend my garden, ride my bike, bake & cook. I also enjoy thoughtful, political, inspiring, and hilarious conversations with my husband and friends. I accept good podcast recommendations.

What do you like to do when you aren't at work?
I enjoy spending most of my free time with my husband and our three kids, plus our extended family. Does not matter if we’re just watching a favorite show together or going on adventures, I enjoy it all. My favorite activities are reading, swimming, video games, and shopping for more books.
What books, movies, or TV shows could you nerd about?
I am a lover of all things science fiction and fantasy. I am always down for book swaps/recommendations. I will completely nerd out if you talk about anything related to the works of Sarah J Maas (author) or anything Star Trek related. In fact, I have been trying to teach myself Klingon so that I can sing one of my favorite songs Karaoke entirely in Klingon.

B.S. in Criminal Justice, Â鶹¹ÙÍø of Arizona, Tucson, AZ
What do you like to do when you aren’t working or studying?
I love spending time at my local library where I can pick up a book, sit down, and read the whole thing before I go back home. I enjoy good coffee, watching any of my favorite sports teams, and spending time with my friends. If I am not in Spokane, you will likely find me back home in Arizona sitting outside soaking every piece of the sun.
What books, movies, or TV shows could you nerd about?
I love all genres of books. However, my favorite includes anything with a sprinkle of romance. Some of my favorite authors are Emily Henry, Sarah J. Maas, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and Kristin Hannah. I also love any movie starring Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but The Office is the best sit com.
