The only “box” edey fits into is that of a statistical anomaly. She wants to change the world but is also a firm believer in tradition. (”It is obvious that tradition is only democracy extended through time.” -G.K. Chesterton) Cultivating a respect for the dignity of all life is the guiding principle of her politics. Never afraid to buck the trend, she tries to follow her favorite <a href=”http://www.geocities.com/Michael_F_Jimenez”>professor’s</a> lead by defying power in order to make space for love. She knows that the only happiness is love, which is attained by giving, not receiving.

edey is a science geek with such eclectic intellectual pursuits that-not only did she end up with two undergraduate degrees-she designed her own liberal arts major. She is on a never-ending quest for truth and beauty. While edey is a tomboy, she can surprise even herself by being “such a girl” under certain circumstances. Her greatest assets-her passion, honesty, and loyalty-are her greatest liabilities. Ultimately, she strives to follow St. John the Baptist’s words: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:30)
