She enjoys exploring Latin America, volunteering in her local community, and soaking up the sun.

How can you describe a weekend of student leaders from across the U.S. with an intense passion to change the world? The Orientation was a phenomenal experience to meet and build connections that I'm sure will last a lifetime.
