Impact of OLLU: OLLU has played an important role in shaping me into the person I am today. Being an international student living far from home comes along with many challenges. Starting this journey by myself has taught me many things about myself and the world around me. I’ve gained new friendships worldwide and learned to stay strong on my own when times were rough. I am immensely grateful for the opportunities and experiences OLLU has provided me, and I am excited to continue growing and thriving into the future.

An important life lesson learned: The biggest life lesson I’ve learned is that if you want something to become reality, you really have to start it YOURSELF, no one will do it for you. This might sound cliché, but in reality, it’s much harder than it sounds.

Plans for the future: My goal is to use my degree and experiences from OLLU to forge a career path that not only aligns with my interests and strengths but also allows me to make a positive contribution to the sports industry and beyond. Whether it's through innovation, leadership, or service, I'm committed to leveraging my education and experiences to create value. I will be working as a business analyst for a tennis corporation in Washington, D.C. starting this June.
