A nursing major, Jocelyn is the girl to call when you have an injury or just want someone to lift your spirits. From Gainesville, Virginia, this third year will give you chills with her voice! While she might not know it yet, she brings something special to CHoosE and we can't wait to show her off!

​

Fun fact: Jocelyn has pet a koala in Australia (contrary to popular belief, they are indeed super soft and sweet).

Sallie is a second year from Williamsburg VA, and embraces everyone around her with fun loving energy and a beautiful soprano voice that you just can't help but smile at. But she doesn't save it just for college kids; this biochem pre-med major is the best sunday school teacher we know, and has won over every age group!

​

Fun Fact: Sallie has mastered the art of running up down escalators.

Now from an actual far away land, we have Will from Boerne, Texas! He's planning on majoring in Bio on a pre-vet track, but don't think homework is all this second year does. Between Honor Council, club running, and all the other clubs we've lost track of, Will does it all with a smile on his face and the best energy ever.

​

Fun Fact: Will rocks the electric guitar and plays piano too! One man band, am I right?

Where to start about John? How about his audition song was in German AND French? Or the fact that he was born in Dallas? Maybe his musical prowess is what should be admired most. Or the fact that he graduated early as an electrical engineering major and is now in his first year of grad school (I know, shockingly impressive!). 

​

Fun Fact: John always carries a multimeter and small collection of umbrellas wherever he goes. 

Drumroll please... introducing our fifth (!!!) member of the class of 2028, we have Maren! This Stafford, VA native is a pre-med biology major with the best energy ever. She can connect with all ages effortlessly- need someone to make you laugh with a single look or a one liner? Look no further! 

​

Fun Fact: Maren worked as a party princess in high school! So if you see birds flocking her when she sings, don't be surprised. She's basically a Disney princess. 

Nathanael is from Midlothian VA, and there's just so much about him that needs to be shared. Should I talk about all of his fun facts, his incredible beat boxing skills, or his deep care for all those around him? If you ever need a hug or wisdom, he's your guy. This intended business/real estate major really is a *peake* human being!

 

Fun Fact: Nathanael has written almost 15 songs! You heard that right- stay tuned for the release, you don't want to miss it.

A fourth year from Montross, VA, Gabby is majoring in Women and Gender Studies and prides herself in her drumming skills (girl's got rhythm). If you ever get lost, you want Gabby on your side- she leads people fearlessly around Monticello, out of escape rooms, and our group as our MD!

​

Fun Fact: Gabby describes herself as "a mild adrenaline junkie". Need a roller coaster buddy? It's gotta be Gabby!

From Herndon, VA (yes, another NOVA kid, they just multiply don't they?), Lacey is a third year psychology and sociology double major. If you're looking for someone to brighten your day, Lacey is the gal who always knows what to say :)

​

Fun fact: Lacey has a funky sock collection! Her favorite pair has raccoons wearing sunglasses, eating cotton candy on them.

This second year econ major is... drumroll please... Caroline from Virginia Beach! Not only is she quite possibly the coolest person we've ever seen wear a bucket hat, she lights up every room (or sporting event) she walks into with her lovely smile and her love for others.

​

Fun Fact: Caroline has the most aesthetic hand writing ever. Seriously. It should be a font.

CHoosE’s Charlottesville local, second year Ainsley is leaning towards a career in education. Ainsley is very active in Christian ministry around grounds. While you are likely to find her reading a good book, she loves spending time with her family, traveling, playing tennis, and sitting in trees. 

 

Fun Fact: Ainsley was born on Christmas Eve, so you have no excuse to forget her birthday!

Time to introduce you our newest engineer in the making... Cathy! This double major in Computer Science and Systems Engineering is from Glen Allen, VA, and we're so excited she's joined CHoosE! From her killer fits (they're a vibe and a half) to her killer voice (two whole vibes right here), her calm yet strong loving presence in choose (vibes times infinity) is an all around blessing, and we already can't imagine life without her.

 

Fun Fact: Cathy's first word as a kid was clock!

Our favorite member from Aldie, VA, it's Kaelyn! Not only is she one of the sweetest humans alive, but she's also a triple threat (acting, singing, and ballet!) and a double major in English and Environmental science (she's actually a quintuple threat??). Kaelyn takes on everything she does with confidence, grace, and humility, and we hope you're as excited to see her as we are!

 

Fun Fact: Her very favorite thing is peanut butter and she published a book at 16!
