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.

During a winter practice for the Rowing Team, our coach had us play soccer on the Ski Hill. We had so much fun running up and down the hill, chasing the ball, tackling each other, and laughing our heads off while trying to beat our teammates.

My favorite GVSU memory is during a bake sale held for GVTV in the Kirkhof Center, another GVTV member and I held a free hugs campaign. I made a best friend that day and we still speak daily almost 10 years later.

My favorite course was Social Psychology under Dr. James Lundy given it bridged my interest in psychology with organizational development. My most fun course was Field Techniques in Anthropology which was an actual physical anthropology excavation.

My favorite GVSU memory is walking into my first GVSU career fair in downtown Grand Rapids and seeing all of the companies with booths. This sight was exciting and nerve-racking at the same time.
