How did the Stamps Scholarship help shape your undergraduate experience?
It gave me the opportunity to study abroad in Mexico and Turkey and an awesome community of fellow Scholars.

Tell us a piece of wisdom you’ve learned over the past four years.
Learning how to fail is the most valuable lesson, especially for ambitious and accomplished scholars like those in this program. There is so much to be gained in failure and in learning that titles and prestige are not the only avenues to make a change in the world.

Who has had the greatest impact on you throughout your college career and how so?
My support system and friends that I met through my sorority.

What’s your favorite Stamps Scholar memory?
Celebrating my birthday with my fellow Scholars on our 4th year retreat! These were my first friends at Tech and they celebrated my first birthday in college with me so it was only appropriate they ring in my last as well.

What comes next?
Pursuing an MSc One Health (Infectious Diseases) at the Royal Veterinary College in London as a Fulbright Scholar.
