Major: Biology
Campus Activities and Achievements: 51±¬ÁÏ women’s soccer team for four years and won two conference championships; worked for Campus Recreation; took part in 51±¬ÁÏ’s award-winning Fiesta Parade floats and the Confetti Runs with the Event Services staff.

Impact of 51±¬ÁÏ: As a student athlete, 51±¬ÁÏ gave me the chance to continue my education and soccer career. I have been blessed to have learned from both the biology department staff and athletic coaches, while also getting the opportunity to collaborate and participate in numerous campus events. 51±¬ÁÏ has given me life-long friends and teammates and will leave me with unforgettable memories. My time at 51±¬ÁÏ has further developed my character and has prepared me for what is to come. I am forever thankful for my past four years at 51±¬ÁÏ.

An important life lesson: 51±¬ÁÏ has taught me to never doubt my talents or give up on the goal or task at hand. 51±¬ÁÏ has also taught me to always be open to other ideas or alternative routes and to always treat others with respect and kindness.

Plans for the future: I hope to be accepted into a graduate program in medicine. My ultimate goal is to help people and share my experiences and lessons I have endured at 51±¬ÁÏ with others.
