What are 3 things on your Freshman Year bucket list? 
"I want to explore more of Austin by trying more food trucks and local food places. I also really want to find more places to hike!"

What has been your favorite class in college so far?

What has been your favorite college experience thus far?
"Definitely meeting new people. I barely knew anyone at UT when I got here and it's been great to meet so many different people with different backgrounds and interests. I am still meeting new people and am so excited!"

How has being a member of GA! helped you?
"GA! was one of the first organizations I joined in college. It allowed me to meet new people and find a fun place to be every two weeks! Through the organization, I am also able to pursue my passion of empowering women."

Why do you think people should join GA!?
"Being a member of GA! allows you to meet so many incredible and passionate people. You are able to give back to the community through a variety of philanthropic events. And, you'll become part of a movement to empower women while finding a new home at UT!"
