One of my most unique memories was my freshman year, Takeelia Garrett (who is still part of the GV team) took me to Dean Merkles house to bake Christmas cookies.

Some of my favorite memories that I cherish were from discussions during my Spanish class with Zulema Moret focused on feminist voices from Latin America.

Because our graduation and social work hooding and pinning ceremonies were canceled due to COVID-19, my favorite memory would have to be our virtual celebration and Zoom toast in the social work department.

My favorite Grand Valley memory is pulling an all-nighter in Neimeyer dorms the night before an African Civ final!

My favorite memory was being a member of the Voices of GVSU. I met some amazing individuals while participating in the choir including our choir director Mama CC. I thoroughly miss our practice sessions and performing together at various events.
