What has been your favorite class at UR so far? Biology 199: Biodiversity and Conservation. The class was so much fun, and I had the best professor, Dr. Jennifer Sevin. We went on class trips to the zoo, explored nature, and did many other fun and educational activities.

What has been your most meaningful extracurricular activity? I am currently part of the UR swim team which takes up most of my time, but it has been especially meaningful to me because of the relationships I have built and the accomplishments I have made so far.

What are your aspirations for the future? After I graduate from Richmond, I hope to go to medical school and become a pediatrician.

What has been most notable about your time here? Richmond has been such a great experience for me so far. I have already made so many friends, built many close relationships, had a variety of new experiences, and learned a lot. I am grateful that I have a very close-knit team of swimmers who are always there for me no matter what and I always feel safe and accepted.
