Why did you decide to join The Lion’s Pantry team by applying to be a student intern?
I applied to be a student intern because I wanted to help support the Penn State community through combating food insecurity.

Furthermore, I want to continue to educate myself on this topic and the needs of the community.

What are you looking forward to bringing or implementing to The Lion’s Pantry in the upcoming academic year?
I am excited by all the new changes happening in the Pantry. We are currently reworking how we manage our inventory to distribute our donations evenly throughout the week and allow everyone that visits the pantry to get highly sought after items. I am also looking forward to offering items in our new refrigerator and freezer in the upcoming months which will expand our offerings.
