Impact of OLLU: OLLU became my home during my junior year of high school, where I was welcomed into their family through the dual-credit program. The impact that OLLU had on my life was profound, and it made me realize that I had to complete my collegiate years there because no other university would provide the same level of support. The professors at OLLU made a true difference in my life, inspiring me and helping me grow. OLLU holds a special place in my heart, and I'm grateful for the experiences and opportunities it has given me.

An important life lesson learned: One of the biggest lessons life has taught me is that opportunities don't just fall into your lap. You’ve got to go out there and chase them down! In order to take advantage of those golden opportunities that come your way, you must be proactive and keep your eyes peeled for them. 

Plans for the future: With my degree in public relations and the valuable experience I gained from OLLU, I hope to make a meaningful impact in the field. I aspire to use my skills and knowledge to effectively communicate and promote inclusivity and diversity in various organizations and industries. Whether it's through creating impactful campaigns, fostering positive relationships or advocating for underrepresented voices, I want to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society. OLLU has equipped me with the tools and mindset to make a difference, and I'm excited to see where this journey takes me!
