From my experiences in Students Against Child Abuse, the Couples and Family Therapy community, and as a Center for Healthy Relationships student intern, I was able to connect with my community about issues that are important to me, develop mentorship skills, and create close bonds with other interns as well as supervisors. I cherish all the relationships that I’ve developed in each of these organizations and feel as though I have made connections that will continue through my lifetime.

The Stamps Scholarship [at the University of Oregon] was essential in providing the resources to have the most enriching educational experience in Eugene and beyond. Thanks to the funding, I was able to study and conduct research around the world, which inspired me to pursue a career telling global stories.

I'm fortunate enough to have the education I have from the University of Oregon—the business degree that gave me the confidence to go out and make [Brew Dr. Kombucha] a national endeavor . . . When I’m in New York, or if I'm in Nashville or something I know I can go to any grocery store and see my product there. It’s just wonderful.

As a little girl, I always knew I wanted to work in sports, specifically female sports. I didn’t know the capacity at the time, but seeing where I was in school and looking where I am now, this is where I wanted to be. Working for a sports team, specifically at the highest level of basketball in the world right now in the WNBA, is nothing I could have drawn up, but I am eternally grateful to be in this position.

I was driven [to pursue an MBA] by a desire to strengthen my self-confidence, expand my skills, and inspire others from underrepresented communities to keep forging ahead. As the first in my family to graduate college, I realized that earning a degree isn’t just a personal achievement, but a milestone that carries my parents’ and grandparents’ hopes and dreams. For me, education became more than a pursuit, it’s become a beacon of opportunity.

[My time at the UO] has helped me in my life by always pushing me to be the best version of myself. Always showing up and giving it my all every single day. I think basketball has translated so much to my professional career with time management, competitiveness, and always wanting to grow and do better.
