Cathy's College & Career Goals

I love to draw, sketch, paint, and do anything arts and crafts related. I'm a clarinet player as well so I listen to a bit of classical music. When I have time I love being outdoors when it's not too hot, hanging out with friends or meeting new people, going ice skating, and taking my dog for a walk.

I’d like to meet a lot of people and find close friends who I can trust. I’ll also aim to get some research or internship while I’m at college. After I graduate, I’ll probably look for a job right away. I’d like to work in either finance/quant or software development, but I’m not sure which path I’m more interested in. I want to live independently which is why I want to start working after college and might not go to grad school. In the long term, I want to be successful so that I can support myself and my loved ones and also raise some fluffy cats

questions!

What do you look for in a potential big sister? (personality traits, type of relationship, dynamic)

I would like a big sister that I could be really close with. I hope that they can be interested in some of the things I enjoy doing. I would also really appreciate someone who could share their advice and experience with me. I don't really have any specific personality traits.

who do you look up to?

I look up to my grandma. She helped raise me and has always supported me in everything I ever wanted to do. She's also really good at cooking and I aspire to be as good as she is one day.

What kind of personalities do you get along with?

I like to be around people who are accepting and honest, because it makes me feel more able to confide in them. I think I get along best with more straightforward people (like if they want me to do something for them, then they'll tell me to)

What are three qualities that you look for in friends?

loyal, open-minded, non-judgmental

How do you best feel supported? (by friends, family, teachers, etc.)ember Process for Kappa Phi Lambda?

I best feel supported when I can talk to friends and family and share what's been going on in my life with them. If I run into any problems, then I can confide in them and ask them for advice.

What is something you're proud of?

I'm proud of graduating from my high school. It was really hard and I wouldn't go back there again

What do you hope to gain from the New Member Process for Kappa Phi Lambda?

I look forward to developing my professional and interpersonal skills by being a part of KPL. The roles and responsibilities that sisters take on within KPL are a great way to practice leadership and time management. KPL emphasizes academic excellence and career development, and I hope to gain valuable insights into how to prepare for interviews and build a strong resume. The networking between sisters and alumni is also something that I want to gain from KPL, as these connections can become valuable friendships and have a lasting impact on my academic and professional journey. By the end of NMP, I want to have a deep understanding of the history of KPL and the history of the Pi Chapter at CMU. I also want to get to know my potential line sisters really well, because they are the ones that I feel comfortable and spend a lot of time with. I’d also like to get to know more sisters and learn about their personal interests and experience at KPL. Lastly, I want to learn more about what is expected of a sister and their duties and responsibilities, so that I can better prepare myself to meet the expectations.
