2013 Julie Townsend Outstanding Female Award Recipient

2015 UTOP Leadership Award: Mentor of the Year Recipient

Every time I recount a successful experience I had at UNC Charlotte, it always traces to someone I met, something I did, or something I remembered from UTOP. While others were focused on making friends and anxious about classes the first few weeks of Fall semester, I had my UTOP sisters to lean on and already began generating a network with the student organization leaders through my mentors. I was always a step ahead; it lead to my academic and social success at UNC Charlotte, which lead to my success as a professional thereafter.
