Major: Human Physiology
About me: I am from the Colorful state of Colorado! I am a junior at the University of Oregon and a Human Physiology major with a Chemistry and Music Minor. I am in my second year as Residential FIG Assistant in the residence halls. I love to sing and play the piano. I really like to rock climb, backpack, kayak, and other outdoorsy activities. My career aspiration is to become a doctor.
Why I joined CKI: I freaking love community service! Hahaha. Community service and leadership have been a major part of my life for a very long time. I have participated in multiple community service trips as well as big projects for Boy Scout and Girl Scout Awards. I enjoy contributing in small ways to the community. My main goal for the club is to be able to connect students to community service opportunities that exist on campus and in the Eugene/Springfield area. I also love hanging out with the people who are in CKI. Hanging out with amazing friends while doing community service, what could be better?!

During our freshman year Janessa and I wanted to do something for the campus so we started Circle K. It has been two years since that and I am proud that we have gotten so far.

My hope for this club is after Janessa and I graduate that it will contiune strong in serving UO and the greater Eugene/Springfield community.
