I am excited to announce that I recently graduated from Miami University with my master's in gerontological studies. Having spent the last six years receiving my undergraduate degree and master's degree from Miami University, I could not be more thankful for the fantastic people I have met along the way to push me further in my academic career. As I completed five of those years while playing varsity softball for the university, I am deeply grateful for the lessons, discipline, and friendship the sport has given me. The memories made at Miami University are ones that I will treasure for a lifetime. I want to thank my amazing cohort members, teammates, and the Scripps Gerontology Center for providing me with the experiences to support my academic journey. Moving into the next stage of my life, I am thrilled to announce that I have accepted a role as a research coordinator at the University of Denver. I am feeling honored to be working alongside an incredible team at the Knoebel Institute for Health Aging. The guidance and support I received from the Miami University staff and my colleagues have been of great value as I begin this new stage. Forever, Love & Honor.
