I wasn't sure what to expect when I became a national officer. Since New Hampshire doesn't have a large state board, I never experienced having a large board; it was just me and one other co-President at the time. I'm really so grateful to the NJCL board for giving me the wonderful experience of working with so many enthusiastic and passionate officers. The transition into a national office was definitely made a lot easier due to Natasha's great leadership and the rest of the board's teamwork.

My term's going very well so far. I've loved reading all the submissions for Club of the Month and seeing all the selfless and thoughtful projects chapters have been undertaking. The #JCLove campaign was also a success, and I really enjoyed seeing the messages and pictures JCLers submitted. I've also been working on the national service project and the logistics behind it.

What's your favorite part about being 2nd vice president?
I love having a connection to 2nd VPs all around the country, and I really enjoy talking to them about their projects and answering their questions. It's also a great experience to get to meet them in person and put a face to their name. I've run into many JCLers at Certamen,

I want the national service project to be a big success. Many students and their schools don't have community service opportunities or enough resources to carry out large-scale service projects. I want to help students experience the fun of service projects and enjoy helping others while also pursuing their passion for Classics.
JCL events, and even just randomly in public. I look forward to reuniting with them and meeting others at the national convention too!
