Special thanks: Huge thank you to my friends and family for the constant encouragement and motivation to continue to work hard and strive to be the best version of myself that I can be. I would not be anywhere near where I am now without all of the support. I would also like to thank Jesse Kaye-Schiess (KPE) and Jenny Scott (MBS) for being excellent academic advisors, as well as Robin Delcourt in the Health Professions office for being an excellent resource to me as I aim to advance my future career in healthcare.
Favorite UMaine memory: Joining club basketball this year and making so many new friends through this club, as well as having the opportunity to keep playing the sport that I love.
