Thank you to my professors who pushed me to think and grow as a student and person. I am entirely grateful to all of you for your support and encouragement throughout these last four years. Thank you also to my family who were always a mere phone call away and supported me in going so far away from home for college. Thank you to my friends at CUA who became my family when I was so far away from home. I could never have done this without all of you supporting me in a distinct capacity. I hope I make you proud in what comes next.
