Favorite moment/story while a student at
SHU was: My four years at Siena were very
challenging between the academic rigor, working
part-time, participating on two athletic teams,
multiple surgeries and injuries that derailed me
not only physically but mentally. But when it’s all
said and done, that was the path that was laid
out and it made me enjoy the successes, friendships created and resiliency
