ASWCC Vice President for Operations 

Bella is an International Student that loves the school and the environment. She has not yet decided which major she wants to be in yet, but she is considering nursing. The reason she chose to be a part of the student leadership team is that she wants to make more friends, moreover she seeks for new experiences and memories. She hopes that she can devote her creativity and passion to the team's work. Things she loves doing in her free time are listening to music and writing poems, it is relaxing for her to put on some slow jazz, take her pen and notebook, then just let her thoughts do the work.hat
