What I hope to accomplish as a Fellow: I hope to spread the word about how much I love this college to as many people as I possibly can, whether that be alumni, prospective students, or the world, even! Bellisario has provided me with so many career-building, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that I feel so honored that I am able to pay it forward.

I am so excited to be a Fellow, and I can't wait to share with everyone how much I love this college!
