How did the Stamps Scholarship help shape your undergraduate experience?
The Stamps Scholarship allowed me access to opportunities I would not otherwise have had, and gave me the confidence to pursue my passions.

Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your freshman self?
I would tell my freshman self to relax and enjoy college, and worry about exams less!

Who has had the greatest impact on you throughout your college career and how so?
The friends I have made in college have definitely helped me grow into the person I am today and have had the most profound impact on my personal development.

Please share your most memorable Stamps Scholar experience.
My most memorable experience was probably using my enrichment funds to study abroad in Botswana the summer after my freshman year.

Plans after graduation?
Hopefully doing research in a national park, or working for another environmental-management government agency.
