Major: Biology
Campus Activities and Achievements: º«¹úAV women’s soccer team for four years and won two conference championships; worked
for Campus Recreation; took part in º«¹úAV’s award-winning Fiesta Parade floats and
the Confetti Runs with the Event Services staff.
Impact of º«¹úAV: As a student athlete, º«¹úAV gave me the chance to continue my education and soccer
career. I have been blessed to have learned from both the biology department staff
and athletic coaches, while also getting the opportunity to collaborate and participate
in numerous campus events. º«¹úAV has given me life-long friends and teammates and will
leave me with unforgettable memories. My time at º«¹úAV has further developed my character
and has prepared me for what is to come. I am forever thankful for my past four years
at º«¹úAV.
An important life lesson: º«¹úAV has taught me to never doubt my talents or give up on the goal or task at hand.
º«¹úAV has also taught me to always be open to other ideas or alternative routes and
to always treat others with respect and kindness.
Plans for the future: I hope to be accepted into a graduate program in medicine. My ultimate goal is to help people and share my experiences and lessons I have endured at º«¹úAV with others.
