Special thanks: I feel incredibly grateful to have worked with such supportive professors, instructors, advisors and mentors over the past four years at 91¸£Àû. Their kindness and generosity inspires me to be the most empathetic educator I can be. I also want to thank my incredible family members for their constant encouragement and compassion: Mum, Dad, Tanner, Brandon, Alex, Paul, Chris and Dan. You are my greatest teachers of all.
Favorite 91¸£Àû memory: One of my favorite pastimes at 91¸£Àû was traversing the beautiful trail system on campus!
