My professors, academic advisors, and other faculty mentors have provided a constant source of encouragement in all my pursuits and have pushed me to challenge myself to achieve beyond what I ever thought possible. My fellow students in the Honors program have also been an invaluable source of inspiration for me to strive to be the best I can be. I am constantly in awe of all the amazing things these students are doing.
