Special thanks: Thank you to my family for supporting me greatly through my undergraduate journey, and to my person, David, for helping me become the person I am today! I couldn’t have done it without my people!

Favorite 91±¬ÁÏ memory: One of my favorite 91±¬ÁÏ memories was when my good friends and I would go rock climbing in the afternoon after classes. I loved being able to be active alongside good company, and also enjoy the beautiful facility that 91±¬ÁÏ offers!
