Experience Academic Excellence
When I’m working in the field for my classes, I always feel like a professional thanks to the preparation I’ve gotten from my professors. By creating relationships with so many professors and campus mentors, I’ve gotten a really great educational experience, a well-rounded one, academically and personally.

@kristinarigamonti I never imagined going to college. I never thought I'd be the one to get straight A's. But I did it, as the first one in my family

my dad for always pushing me past my limits, and to my best friend, my fiancé, for seeing in me the greatness I’m destined to accomplish & for supporting me in every way possible.
