neuroscience pre-med with minors in Theology and
Compassionate Care. I am an only child and give thanks to God
for being placed in Lyons (giving me lifelong sisters). You will

inner child in me has a huge bluey and Disney obsession! I can’t
wait for all the adventures we will share together!
Hi everyone! My name is Katherine and I’m from Glens Falls, NY. I

Education, Schooling & Society. Right now, I'm studying abroad in
Santiago, Chile, where I’m working on my Spanish and enjoying
living in a big city. I have two younger sisters and a dog named
maisey. In my free time, I love running around the lakes and trails
in South Bend, hiking, reading, going on sidequests with friends,
and exploring coffee shops and farmers markets. The Lyons
community has meant so much to me over the past few years and
I'm so excited to be an RA next year!
Hi Lyonites! I’m Reagan, originally from the city of the Fighting
Irish, good old South Bend. I'm a Neuroscience major with a
minor in Compassionate Care in Medicine. I studied abroad in
London last semester, but it's great to be back on campus,
anchored in our Lyons community! I love visiting my three older
siblings in Boston, Charlotte, and New York, hiking national
parks, having a Taylor Swift dance party, and running around
the lakes here on campus. I can't wait to explore uncharted
territory next year with Lyonzzz.

Hello my lovely Lyonites!! My name is Ari, and I am super excited to
be serving as one of your RAs next year! My family and I are
currently from Wisconsin, but I originally grew up in the northern

fan! In other words... Bear down and go Cubs go! I have a major in
Psychology, a supplementary major in Spanish, and a minor in
Education, Schooling, and Society (shoutout Arts and Letters). in
my free time, I absolutely love to dance, walk/ run around Saint

endless sunshine, I am missing you all and our lovely home on
campus very much, and I cannot wait to see all of the amazing
things that are in store for our Lyons community!
