My journey at Trinity Washington University has been one of growth, resilience, and purpose. As a nontraditional student, I returned to school after becoming a mother of two boys, determined to continue my education and build a better future for my family. From the moment I started, I was motivated to accomplish every goal I set for myself. I made it a priority to get involved on campus, connect with others, and take advantage of the many opportunities Trinity offers. Being present, engaged, and intentional about my experience has truly shaped my time as a student and made it meaningful beyond the classroom.

Balancing motherhood, a full-time job, and academics was not easy, but I remained committed to my success. Maintaining an average 3.5 GPA throughout my college experience reflects both my dedication and perseverance. I am proud to have made the Dean’s List over three times, joined the Psychology Club, and become a member of Psi Chi. Being nominated as Trinity’s Psi Chi chapter President has been an incredible honor and a testament to my hard work and leadership. As I prepare to take the next step in my journey at The Catholic University of America, where I plan to pursue my Master’s in Social Work, I carry with me the strength, knowledge, and confidence that Trinity has helped me build.
