Impact of OLLU: During my time at OLLU, I was able to make great connections with my professors and classmates. I always felt very welcomed throughout the school, and I was able to further my education and get one step closer to achieving my goals. As a first-generation student, I was unsure of what college life would hold, but the OLLU community made the transition easy. 
 
An important life lesson: The biggest life lesson I have learned is no matter how hard life gets, always push through the challenges, and it will all be worth it. 
 
Plans for the future: With my degree, I hope to get a job in a large corporation and become a financial analyst. My main goal is to help those who need help financially and live a better quality of life. I have been accepted to the Master of Science - Financial Analysis Graduate Program at OLLU.
