Thank you so much for granting me the Gilbert C. Tolhurst Award. It is an honor to be recognized for my academic and scientific achievements. As an undergraduate student at UMass, I had the opportunity to discover and grow my passion for science and research, thanks to the incredible faculty in the Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences department. I feel extremely privileged to have had professors who encouraged me to grow. Moving forward, I will continue to be involved in research during graduate school, and am excited to continue to grow as a researcher and as a learner. As I leave UMass, I am grateful to take with me all that I have been lucky enough to learn throughout my time here. Thank you again for this recognition.
