Major: Psychology

Top CC Academic Moment/Accomplishment: Getting As in my first two blocks (FYP). I was nervous about adjusting to the Block Plan and college in general, but was able to manage everything super well, and honestly enjoyed the classes. Overall, both classes ended in a great result!

Special Talent/Skills: I play the piano, sing, and write songs. I started this when I was in elementary school when my mom gifted me a songwriting book for Valentine’s Day, after which I started taking piano and voice lessons. Ever since then I have loved music and continue to play piano and write songs. 

Hobbies: I love spending time with my family and dog, Moose, as well as going on hikes and watching movies.

Proudest Moment at CC: Getting to play in my first NCAA tournament was a moment I will never forget as a volleyball player and is something that I am super proud of this year.

Community Service Experience: I volunteered to lead a bible study at church for adults with disabilities. I did this throughout middle school and high school with my family. Recently, in my Block 2 class we worked with an organization called Showers For All, in Denver, which provides showers to the homeless. Our class helped with the logistical sides of the organization and worked with the CEO so the website and other outreach avenues could be improved.

Major: Economics

Top CC Academic Moments: I took Christianity for Block 3 and my final paper was about how the development of early Black churches initiated the fire that would grow into the abolitionist movement. This paper was one of my top moments because I took it home and read it to my parents and we talked about it. I was proud because I was able to write about something important to me.

Special Talents/Skills: I’m above average at chess.

Hobbies: Basketball and spending time with friends.

Proudest moment at CC: My first basketball game that I started in. I never started until our third-to-last game and didn’t know if I would until our Assistant Coach Adams told me I would and encouraged me to take advantage of the opportunity. It meant a lot because it showed me the work I had put in throughout the season and before I came to CC was for a reason and to have a little taste of success fuels me.

Community Service Experience: I enjoy doing the freerice.com questions because it is so simple, yet it helps people who really need it. All you do is answer multiple-choice questions online; every correct answer results in a grain of rice being donated to someone in need. If everyone did it for 30 minutes a day the amount of food donated would be unbelievable.
