“Receiving this award means a lot to me. I live for any opportunity to learn from others, and it’s so nice to get recognized for staying on the scene and being as involved as I can be with the game I love. To be with other leaders that look like me, who work with students looking for mentors on and off the court—representation matters. It’s an honor that I don’t take lightly.”

“In the military, you’re expected to help your comrades and build each other up to complete a mission. The same values apply here at OPSU, where I support my peers and give back to the community, whether through my role at the Student Center or my daily interactions with others.”
