My favorite Grand Valley memories are being down on the sideline for Laker football games cheering the team on for many Grand Valley Victories. Watching football from anywhere but the sideline will never be the same!

Winning the intramural basketball tournament with a great group of friends!
My favorite memory is planning and executing the first big event for the GVSU Chapter of NAACP as the inaugural president. Our team wanted to create an entertainment event that truly resonated with students of color on campus.
I spent the majority of my time at GVSU serving as a Multicultural Assistant and being a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated. A specific memory was traveling to Alabama in 2001 for the Football National Championship with my good friend Yolan
Being a part of the Cook Leadership Academy and being afforded opportunities like speakers, mentors, self-development, and building bonds with diverse peers. I now have the pleasure of giving back to the program both financially and as a mentor.
One of my favorite memories from Grand Valley was being a part of the GVSU Dance Troupe. I had never taken any type of organized dance classes prior but soon fell in love with the art of dance. I still dance both recreationally and competitively today.
