KEELEY MAHONEY
Internal
Class: Sophomore
Hometown: Chicago, IL
Major: Computer Science
Favorite part about FEST: Being in my committee, Internal Social. We were all very different from each other in terms of our majors, our experiences, and our hobbies. But, we all got close really fast and came to form a really close-knit group. I loved going to Gumby’s with them each Tuesday, doing hot seats, and hanging out whenever we had down time. Committee hangouts were my favorite part of my week because I got to see the people who made me feel like I had a place at Texas A&M and embraced me for who I was.
Interest/Hobbies: watching all types of Reality Television, playing volleyball, wearing Red Crocs whenever I can, and participating in Student Bonfire
Catchphrase: “I’m from Chicago!”
