It has been a wonderful four years surrounded by people who understand my struggles and push me to be a better version of myself. The sense of sisterhood and the mentorship I’ve gotten here… I’m convinced I wouldn’t have found that elsewhere. I am incredibly thankful for this university and all it has offered me these past four years.
