I’m Graduating!

After four years of studying, I am thrilled to announce that I will be receiving my Bachelor's degree in Political Science with an emphasis in Elections and Campaign Management accompanied by a minor in General Business Management from The University of Oklahoma. As I prepare to take the next step in my journey, I am truly grateful to share this momentous occasion with my fellow graduates and loved ones, who have been a constant source of unwavering support and encouragement throughout my academic journey. I am eager and excited to see what the future holds for me as I enter the workforce, armed with the knowledge and skills I have acquired over the past four years.

❤️ My Full Circle Moment

October 14, 2022.
October 14, 2022. I stand on stage between large “GO OU” letters with a biography on the projector screen behind me.

On September 28, 2018, I attended my first and only Admissions event—OU’s Scholars Day. Four years later, I hosted the event for the Office of Admissions and Recruitment. Being able to host OU’s premier recruitment event for high-achieving prospective students after it was the event that brought me to OU was a full circle moment.

In addition to being the host of OU’s Scholars Day, I have been featured on numerous Office of Admissions and Recruitment’s publications, including the High School preview (campus previews for high schoolers) and the Go2OU box (the official acceptance box).
