Impact of OLLU: OLLU has impacted my life with gifting me so many things – friends who have become family who will last a lifetime, knowledge within my specialization in public relations, professors who have become friends and life mentors, cultural and societal awareness and enhancing my authentic self. 

An important life lesson: Nothing in life is easy. Work for what you want and be confident while doing it.  

Plans for the future: With my career and experiences here at OLLU, I hope to dive into my field. I always say that I love the world of Mass Communication, more specifically Public Relations. Applications for my career are going out and I am applying to graduate schools in New York and Boston.
