Favorite Bacchantae memory: My favorite memory is when we hosted a new Bacchantae acceptances celebration in my suite at Cathedral Gardens. It felt pretty special because it was the first time since the pandemic that Bacchantae was able to hang out together indoors. I loved having a space where we could be comfortable, bond, and have fun.

Favorite Bacchantae memory: My favorite Bacchantae memory was watching the sunset together before singing at the Holiday on the Hudson tree lighting.
