Patty Freedson Undergraduate Health and Wellness Scholarship

Ashley Fang

Ashley Fang is a junior Kinesiology major at UMass Amherst who grew up in Taipei, Taiwan currently studying abroad in South Korea. Her interests vary from watching baseball and outdoor activities to K-pop and anime. She enjoys working in the sports medicine field and plans to become a physical therapist working with professional athletes. Extracurricular activities she has participated in include intramural volleyball, Safety Officer with the UMass Badminton Club, Career Ambassador, and UMass Athletics athletic trainer internship.  

This will help me to repay my family who always supports me. They have put in a lot of effort to support my dream and pay for the tuition abroad while we are on the opposite side of the world. The support I received from this award is more than financial. Getting frustrated by the rejection of multiple internship applications and my student visa status, it is hard to be determined despite my passion for sports and helping others. There are more reasons for me to continue the path of being awarded the scholarship.

Mark Justin Legarda

Mark Justin Legarda is a junior kinesiology major hailing from West Springfield, MA. Mark enjoys exploring the local area with his friends and rowing with the Men’s Club Crew team on campus. After graduation, he aspires to take the knowledge he obtained with his degree and apply it to both medical school and beyond.

I am honored to be the recipient of the Patty Freedson Undergraduate Health and Wellness Scholarship.  I would like to thank each person who recognized me and the work that I have been doing. It truly means a lot to be acknowledged within our community. I will use this recognition as further motivation towards striving for academic excellence.
