My Company mates have had the greatest impact on me. I would not have grown as much as I did without their feedback and positive attitudes.

What’s your favorite Stamps Scholar memory?
My favorite Stamps Scholar memory was going to the Stamps Conference in Georgia Tech and working together to solve problems. I was absolutely amazed by what we were all able to come up with in just a couple of hours.

What comes next?
I will be commissioned as a Naval Officer and will report to the USS Dewey, a Destroyer out of San Diego.
