I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to the ForeverBuffs donors for the phenomenal opportunity to further my education at CU. I am pursuing a degree in computer science with a minor in business. I am immensely grateful for your support. I am proud to be a Buff and to be honoring the legacies that each of you have left. I look forward to building a diverse community at CU. This year, I had the opportunity to work for our student government. Through my involvement, I have learned how to be an advocate for my peers and the true power of allyship. As a student in the Engineering Honors Program, I am so lucky to have met many driven students who motivate me to explore the endless applications of engineering in our modern world. I am ecstatic to be an RA for the Andrews Residence Hall so I can continue to cultivate the accepting community on campus that makes me so proud to be a Buff. I am looking forward to making connections with our diverse student body. During my time at CU, I will continue to build a community upon the principles that define our campus and advocate for the needs of those around me. As always, Go Buffs!
