Fun fact: I rowed in highschool my senior year for the primary purpose of getting the crew jacket at the end of the season.

I love spending countless summer days in the water back home in Virginia Beach, but here in C’ville if I’m not studying at the church, you’ll probably find my balling out at the AFC or roaming around the Engineering Wing. I love playing sports (no matter how good I am) almost as much as I love growing in faith and relationship with others. There’s nothing more thrilling to me than growing in fellowship with my fellow Catholic Hoos!

Communications: Shannon Gregory

Fun Fact: I lived in England for 17 years, but I don't have a British accent.

Excuse me!! You can find me at STA 99% of the time (the other 1% I’m probably in class). I have a twin sister who also goes to UVA and you can often find me somewhere close by to her. My all time favorite Disney movie is the Lion King, and if I was a Disney princess I think I would be Anna from Frozen. My go to article of clothing is a onesie, but for some reason society does not accept that as a suitable thing to wear out and about. Since transferring to UVA last year, I have grown to love college basketball, but more importantly, I have been falling deeper in love with the person of Jesus Christ.

Justice and Peace: Sophia Van Horn
3rd Year
Major: Religious Studies

Fun Fact: I've vomited on every Humpback Sunrise Hike I've ever done.

I think there is not better way to understand who I am than to get an idea of where you can find me.  Generally, I'm either in the Map Room (drowing in readings), Newcomb (procrastinating on the readings I should be doing), STA (praying for motivation to do the readings), or the pool (I can't read and swim at the same time).  I love deep conversations, lactose-free ice cream, serving others, the pursuit of truth, and praising our beautiful Lord!

Faith Formation: Cora Wack
3rd Year
Major: Economics; East Asian Studies

Fun Fact:  My favorite movie is Coraline (and not just because my name is in the title).  My favorite restuarant is Cracker Barrel.  When I went to Taiwan, I had beef noodle soup every single day for 2 weeks.  I'm young enough to be a 2nd Year.

I'm from Annandale, VA, and one thing I am super passionate about is the Pro-Life movement (We are the Pro-Life Generation)!  Some of my hobbies include writing letters and making handmade cards for people.  I also love Zumba, Silent Disco, and playing basketball and softball.  Above all these, I love my Catholic Faith.  Since Christ has played such an incredible role in my life, I love spreading His joy and peace in whatever ways I can.  If you ever need to find me, I'll most likely be in Lambeth, O-hill (the best dining hall), the AFC (my second home), or the STA Common Room. 

Social: Will Hofer

Major: Mechanical Engineering

Fun fact: I spent my summer after first year pretending it was 1941 and living in a 91-year-old log cabin in the mountains of New Mexico. And I had a mustache.

Like most students at UVA, I spend most of my time studying, but that’s boring. I’d rather be getting my hands dirty building cars or rockets or robots, but I figure I need a degree in order to get paid to do those things. Some of my favorite pastimes include playing guitar, working on my car, surfing, cooking meals for my friends, doing anything outdoors, and spending hours on Craigslist. I really love doing stupid, dumb things especially if a good story comes out of it, but what I truly love most are my family, my friends, Catholic Hoos and Our Blessed Lord.

Worship: Mason Courter

Major: Spanish for Special Education

Fun Fact: I have a taco tattoo.

They call me Ace.  Just kidding, only a few people do, but you are more than welcome to call me Ace.  Or Mase the Ace. or Mase, or just Mason.  I would say I am pretty distinguishable by my tattoos.  I love tattoos and have six myself.  They each tell a story and carry a little piece of my heart.  Along with tattoos, I love playing soccer and working out, writing poetry, proclaiming the Word, wearing overalls, sharing testimonies, and eating Mexican food.  I also love, love, love giving hugs (Will says I give good ones), so if you ever want or need one, you can probably find me in one of the dining halls doing work as I eat.

Music: Fatima Solis
3rd Year
Major: Biology
Email: fcs7bt@virginia.edu 
Fun Fact: My first semester I spent a lot of time pretending to play the trombone in the Cavalier Marching Band, but now I know how to actually play.

I drink soda the way other people drink water, and I love late night Croads runs for some fresh chicken tendies and candy. I’m honestly surprised my body hasn’t given out on me yet. I like to ride in the back of Matt’s pickup truck, because it reminds me of the motherland, El Salvador. My favorite food is a nice, cheesy pupusa from Doña Azucena, but don’t tell my mom, because she thinks hers are my favorite. You can catch me on the daily in the common room procrastinating or in the adoration chapel singing praise and worship with Jesus.
