I am a FIRE Starter because... I have taken an interest in gender identity and its effects on relationships at Notre Dame. I believe that certain flaws in the generally accepted beliefs at Notre Dame cause a rift in the social dynamics on campus and lead to serious problems that the GRC addresses such as sexual assault and discrimination. I believe that the human dignity of each person deserves to be protected and that dialogue is the first step towards fixing the problem.
My favorite thing about Notre Dame is... that sense of community and family that surrounds all aspects of life at Notre Dame.
A fun fact about me is... I am a swing dancer.
