Some of my favorite memories come from my time running GrandPR, GVSU's student-run communications firm. It was both challenging and rewarding, and I met many of my closest friends because of it.

My favorite GVSU memory was Lavender Graduation. It was amazing to be in community with so many peers I had learned from throughout my time at GVSU and to celebrate faculty and staff who uplifted and supported us.

My favorite memory while attending Grand Valley happened when I was a part of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization. As a member, we had the opportunity to attend the chapter conference in Chicago.
