I hope that with the path I have paved, they will all grow up to follow their dreams and believe they can do anything.

I hope my journey changes the lives of many young women, and inspires them.
HOW BETHANY HAS PREPARED YOU • • • Bethany has such a special place in my heart. The staff at Bethany has done an amazing job to prepare me for the professional world.

WHAT YOU REMEMBER MOST • • • There are a lot of things I will remember about Bethany, but one thing I will never forget, is being able to compete on the volleyball court with my teammates who are now some of my best friends.
ADVICE FOR CURRENT STUDENTS • • • Get to know your professors, ask for professional advice, and reach out if you need help. Get to know your work study employers, again create those connections. Lastly, get to know your classmates. Creating connections in college is the most important thing. You never know what a connection can do.
