I believe that the key to service is being involved. Service has played an essential role in my experience as I have committed myself to numerous clubs, jobs, and activities. I am currently a sales associate at Xavier University’s All for One Shops, an intern on the Cincinnati Parks Levy/Yes On 22 Campaign, a member of Xavier’s American Sign Language Club, CFJ Companian Groups, and Honors Council, and volunteer, when possible, at the Kentucky YMCA and Xavier’s Community Action Day. It is through my dedication to service in being involved on and off campus, that I exhibit Alpha Sigma Nu’s core value of service as I have faith that I can create positive change to not only the Xavier community but to society as a whole. Alpha Sigma Nu’s core value of loyalty is a quality I believe is exemplified throughout everything that I do, not just in my life while at Xavier. However, Xavier has provided an environment for my loyalty to be illustrated. In my allegiance to my schoolwork, jobs, and other extracurricular activities, I have demonstrated loyalty. My unwavering commitment to the things I set my mind to, allow me to earn the trust of my professors and colleagues so that they may see my dependability and faithfulness to any and all

    For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to attend North Dakota State University. My dad and sister are NDSU alumni, so furthering my education where they did provides us with a unique bond.

Not only will I be able to care for others with a Pharm.…
