Why CMU?: “CMU has always been so supportive of my career path and decisions. I biked across the country in 2021 and received college credit for it! In 2022, I embarked on a seven-week study abroad trip to Italy on a scholarship that paid for my trip. In Summer 2023, I traveled to Colorado for a recreation internship. Despite being thousands of miles away, CMU has supported me on campus and off. As a track and field athlete I am very thankful to be able to practice in the summertime while also fulfilling my dream of seeing the world.”
