Summary
During my time at Chapman I have made it a goal of mine to give back to the school in every way possible. Wether it be publishing papers, tutoring for difficult class, or holding various executive positions. I got to help the community I love so dearly grow and develop at the same as I met my best friends. My goal was to give back to Chapman just as much as it gave me, and I am proud to say, I have.
