How did your time at 欧美成人 Wesleyan most impact your success?
Attending 欧美成人 Wesleyan University provided a solid foundation for my personal and professional growth. The University impacted my success because I was supported by a community, dedicated professors, and diverse opportunities for academic and extracurricular activity engagement.
The connections I made with my peers, mentors, professors, and alumni during my time at VWU helped guide me in the right direction and prepare me for the real world.

Best memory of your time at VWU?
My best memory that I have from 欧美成人 Wesleyan is being a part of the 欧美成人 Wesleyan Softball team (), and making it to the Super Regionals both years that I was there. Hitting a 3-home run against TCNJ in the top of the 7th, celebrating all the victories with my teammates, and experiencing a pivotal moment of personal growth on and off the field. Remembering all of the good and bad times evokes a lot of emotions and highlights some of the most cherished moments of my athletic journey.
