SENIOR SPOTLIGHT!

 Darly Aquno

Hometown: Hollywood, FL

Major: Criminology & Criminal Justice

Accomplishments in college: VP Philanthropy AXO, SGA, HLSU, Garnet and Gold Key Honor Society

Favorite meal at AXO: Taco bar

Favorite memory at AXO: I was a keynote speaker for a women’s appreciation event on campus. I had to talk about a very emotional topic (domestic violence) and seeing my sisters there helped me through it and I felt so much support and love.

Plans after graduation: I hope to work with a non-profit organization that I’m passionate about, preferably in a big city. I also hope to travel and see more of the world.

Where you see yourself in 10 years: I hope to see myself in a position where I can help others on a larger scale, whether that be through my own non-profit organization or perhaps in the legal system.

Advice for underclassman: It sounds cliché, and I never listened to this when people told me, but these four years really do fly by. Spend them next to those that matter (your sisters and friends) time is a precious gift that is meant to be shared with those who you love.

Where you see yourself in 10 years: Living somewhere exotic with a successful career and married to a professional golfer (preferably Keegan Bradley).

Courtney Buchanan

Hometown: Lighthouse Point, FL

Major: Accounting

Accomplishments in college: Winning all campus flag football and getting into Notre Dame’s Masters in Accounting Program

Favorite meal at AXO: Everything on pita day

Favorite memory at AXO: Picking one favorite memory is impossible, but living in the house the last three years has given me a majority of my favorites, from just sitting around on the couches together all night, or staying at meals hours after its over just to talk.

Plans after graduation: Internship with Pricewaterhouse Coopers in Fort Lauderdale then after I will attend graduate school for one year to receive my masters in accounting, during which time I hope to take and pass the CPA exam.

Where you see yourself in 10 years: I hope to have a loving family of my own and to be still working for Pricewaterhouse Coopers in a managing role.

Advice for underclassman: Get involved with AXO as much as possible whether it’s living in the house or holding a position. You will never look back and wish you had not been as involved, but you will look back and wish you did more. This sorority gave me my favorite memories of college and got me through my hardest times.

Congratulations, seniors!
