Favorite Brandeis Memory: Rehearsing and performing with Voices of Soul A Cappella Group
I volunteer because, during my time at Brandeis, I had the privilege of being immersed in an environment that prides itself on educational excellence and engaging in various enriching activities that left a lasting impression. The most significant aspect of my time at Brandeis was the relationships I formed with lifelong friends and mentors. Their guidance and support have played an instrumental role in shaping my personal and professional growth. I am forever grateful for the community that Brandeis fostered and am delighted to have an opportunity to give back.
