In her words:

I'm a driven and purpose-oriented Cadet at Norwich University, currently in my junior year pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. As an Army ROTC cadet, I’ve learned to balance leadership and followership with discipline, resilience, and a deep respect for the people I serve alongside. My passion for military service and human behavior fuels everything I do, whether in uniform or in the classroom.

I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments where multitasking, communication, and adaptability are essential. From tutoring English to volunteering in the local community, I stay engaged and committed to growth, both my own and that of others. Each challenge I face is an opportunity to build character and sharpen my skills through self-reliance, reflection, and action.

Whether I’m leading a team, assisting a peer, or learning something new, I aim to bring value through integrity, service, and purpose. I approach each day guided by honesty, temperance, and wisdom, the guiding values I’ve come to hold close through my time at Norwich.

I'm always open to connecting with others, whether we share the same path or come from different walks of life.

Let’s connect!
