My favorite memories at Grand Valley were made at the Sustainable Agriculture Project (SAP). That is where I met my best friends, learned how to cook, became passionate about sustainability, and learned to keep bees.

My favorite GVSU memory is Mrs. Jamison's writing exploration class. I learned so much about other people in that class as she really encouraged us to open up and share our stories.

One of my favorite memories is meeting Dr. Hart and talking about cancer biology research. That conversation has kept me motivated throughout the years and will continue to help me persevere and have confidence in my abilities.
