Impact of OLLU: I have grown with a close family that I will never forget. They have helped me grow through the years I attended OLLU.

An important lesson learned: It is okay to not know what you want or go through things that aren’t positive; it’s what you do to overcome those tribulations to get to your end goal.

Plans for the future: I would love to be a child psychologist for students with learning disabilities/challenges. I am currently getting ready for an internship and looking for a graduate program.
