I was involved with many other things at GCU. I was very involved in local outreach. I was a part of the homeless ministry and the changing lives center. I was also a member of the Havocs, Best Buddies and intramural teams. I participated in an ongoing research project in my junior and senior year and gave presentations on the project as well as created posters and abstracts for it. I was in the Honors College, a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars and on the President’s list every semester at GCU. My freshman year presentation for the Honors symposium was nominated for an award, and I graduated summa cum laude as well.
I think overall my biggest accomplishment was staying well rounded through getting good grades, volunteering, working, starting a club, maintaining a social life and getting into occupational therapy school, all while dealing with a lot of loss throughout my years in college.
