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.

I always loved family weekend. My siblings and I all moved about two hours away from our home town to attend Grand Valley, so when my parents would come visit to tailgate and attend the football games, it was always really special.

One of my fondest memories at Grand Valley is working on my first short film as the Producer. I had no idea what I was doing yet I felt so empowered as a filmmaker. I ended up making friends that are still a part of my life and my film crews!

One of my favorite memories at GVSU was when Redman and Method Man came to campus for a concert. Once the lights went off, we found out that almost every member of the Wu-Tang Clan was there.
