Outside of school, she works as an admissions ambassador and holds multiple leadership roles in her sorority Alpha Sigma Tau. In her free time, Ryan loves working with youth, baking or getting brunch with friends (she’s biased toward Follia and Grey Dog). You can find her on Instagram @ryankwalker.
