FAVORITE MEMORY FROM ACTIVE DAYS
Crossed late in her undergraduate career, so she didn’t get the chance to make many lasting memories. However, she is grateful for the friendships she still holds today and the help and support that come with them.
WORD OF ADVICE
“Something I would emphasize […] is to never settle. Be patient, be confident, and know that every day that you don't settle for good enough, you're one step closer to your ultimate goal. I've found that to be true personally and professionally.”
