the university not only as a landmark in our community but as a foundational part of my own development. It is where I earned my Bachelor of Arts,
Bachelor of Education, and Master of Education, and where I had the privilege of competing as a Pronghorn soccer player鈥攅xperiences that shaped my
identity, deepened my commitment to education, and fostered lifelong connections.
In our family, post-secondary education has always been strongly valued. My mother, Pat, completed her Education degree at the U of L, setting an example of the importance of learning and service. Both of my children, Brady and Kyra, continued this tradition as students. Brady began his academic journey at the university before becoming a firefighter/paramedic, and Kyra recently completed her Bachelor of Science while representing the Pronghorns as a basketball player.
