In Denison Religious Understanding, she keeps folks on task with a firm but humorous personality, and sets the tone for openness and hospitality. She expresses a religiosity shaped by exploration and openness, not by certitudes. Through the efforts of leaders like Anitra, the content and character of the group has gained a very positive reputation on campus. She is reliable, inquisitive, and great with people in an understated, non-flashy manner. She follows her passions and interests with a dedication and sincerity that translates into leadership that is quieter, less obvious, but in the end stronger. She will be an asset to any organization of which she becomes a part."
