CEAS Award
Perseverance Award
Why do you think you were selected for this award?
I have used my life experience to help others with their own strife, and I have let my experiences be a motivating force, rather than a defeat.
What is your favorite Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder memory?
Singing at the national conference National Collegiate Choral Organization (NCCO) with the University Choir in November 2025. I will cherish those memories forever!
What is your best piece of advice for other students?
Struggle looks different for everyone. Be slow to judge, and wary of assuming someone is okay based on their outward achievements. In the same vein, it is okay to ask for help, and the relationships you form from shared vulnerability and support will be far more meaningful and long-lasting. You are not as isolated as you feel. You deserve kindness and support, both from others and from yourself.Ìý
