I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to attend Columbia University because of all that it has given me. To my parents, thank you for your constant love and support. I would also like to thank my family, friends, professors, coaches, and especially my teammates who have made this experience so meaningful. Columbia and CUFH will always hold a special place in my heart.
