My favorite thing about WU is the people! Everyone is so friendly, not to mention intelligent and passionate also!

What I do in my spare time
In my spare time, I love to read. Harry Potter is one of my favorites! I love to go to the movies and try new and unique restaurants. I am also doing a lot of wedding planning for my wedding in July 2007!

My thoughts on leadership and involvement
Leadership to me, is the commitment to serve, the ability to inspire, and the dedication to make things better. I gained a lot of leadership skills by simply getting involved on my campus. There are hundreds of organizations, clubs, and activities out there with tons of things to do. Becoming an involved citizen of your university will not only help you gain leadership skills, but will also allow you to explore your talents, meet amazing new people, and find out what you are really passionate about.

My favorite leadership quote
“Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.”
