She was a council member on the Commissioner’s Kentucky Department of Education Student Advisory Council and a member of the National Honors Society.

The McConnell Scholarship has given me the key to further embrace my love for learning and leading. It has provided me access to so many scholars and their stories, in which I hope to absorb and carry those lessons and tips throughout my journey as a Cardinal and beyond.
