Sharon Sabini, who goes by “Cherie,” is a junior English major in the Honors Program with minors in Peace and Justice Studies and Italian Studies. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio and moved to Springfield, Missouri in third grade (she proudly bears the title of “Midwesterner”). On campus, Cherie is one of the leaders for the Bethlehem House service site, something she is incredibly passionate about, in addition to being a Writing Center Tutor, the President of HerCampus, and a member of Best Buddies. You’re quite likely to find Cherie in the Pryz at any given time, as being around her friends is something she can’t get enough of! Though she’s explored a good amount of D.C., as she loves any vintage store and adores the D.C. food scene, her mission for this semester is to get out into the city even more! 

While many people say college is the time where you “find yourself,” Cherie definitely found this to be a lot of pressure and struggled to do so her freshman year: “I thought that by making myself as busy as possible or doing what all my friends did, I would feel like the ‘adult’ college was supposed to turn me into.” Yet, if you asked Cherie how she truly did find herself in college, she would say, without a moment of hesitation, that it was becoming an Orientation Advisor. “My mom always used to say to me, ‘The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.’ I never believed that to be possible, but when I threw myself into the service of being an Orientation Advisor, I finally understood what she meant.” 

Having the privilege of being able to create an environment that makes others feel even a little bit more at ease during one of the most stressful and transitional periods of their lives has been the joy of Cherie’s time at CUA. Stepping into her role as Student Coordinator, Cherie hopes to help build a program that will cultivate the open embrace that she felt upon her arrival and that has been with her since her first day! “I am so incredibly honored to be working with Allison on creating this year’s Orientation. We cannot wait to meet you all and to help you find your home away from home at Catholic University!”
