After five years at HSU, this space definitely has a special place in my heart. Thank you to all the friends, faculty, and general folks that got me through it, and helped me discover who I am and who I want to be!! Special thanks to the CRGS Department for creating one of my favorite and most supportive communities on campus, to all the faculty in the Biology Department who kept up with all my changing plans and pushed me to challenge myself, and to all my bosses/coworkers at the Learning Center for creating such a fun work experience! This isn't how any of us wanted this experience to end, but HSU has prepared me to roll with the punches, see the positive, and keep on striving. Now to go put all this in to action!!
