Cardinal Newman Fellow

I am an incoming senior at Thomas Aquinas College, California, a Catholic Liberal Arts school where all the students study the great books through the discussion method.  I developed my passion for seeking Truth, Beauty, and Goodness, and especially for learning more about my Catholic Faith, when I started homeschooling in elementary school. 

​

I am grateful to my parents for helping me to read great literature, start learning Latin, and study the teachings of the Church as well as to live my faith from a young age.  Now I continue to learn more surrounded by amazing friends and faculty at TAC.  

​​

Some of my favorite things to do in my free time are talking with family and  friends, reading books, hiking, playing games, and playing piano.  In high school, I spent a lot of time experimenting with graphic design and photo editing, working on creating a website for our Students for Life Group and a Tolkien website with my friends.  I am excited to take up these hobbies again for ASM!

​

I also have a passion for Sacred music, having taken ten years of piano lessons and a few years of voice lessons. Listening to my college’s choir sing the great polyphony and Gregorian Chant of the past leads me to a greater love for God and for the Church. During my junior year, I was blessed to learn more about polyphony in particular in TAC's music course. I am excited to help ASM create 21st Century American Sacred Music to add to the Church’s great wealth of beauty! 

I would like to thank all ASM patrons for making it possible for me to have this internship. I enjoy working with graphic design and writing, and it is a great blessing to be able to gain more experience in these areas in order to serve the Church in a special way.
