'23, Occupational Therapy
Through the generosity of benefactors E. Roe Stamps and his late wife Penny, I am excited to be a part of Elizabethtown College's Class of 2023! I have lived in nine states, but moved to Elizabethtown from North Platte, Nebraska. I am pursuing my degree in Occupational Therapy. Outside of academics, I am involved in the Student Occupational Therapy Association, E-motion, Lighthouse, and Spanish Club. Through the scholarship, I have formed a deeper knowledge of my major and enriched my understanding of the world by studying abroad in Barcelona in the Spring of 2022. Throughout my college experience thus far, I have incorporated service into my life through being a Mural Arts Virtual Tutor, volunteering at a hospice center, and going on a service trip to Give Kids The World. I am thankful for what these past three years have brought and am thankful to have been given this opportunity to join a community of like-minded peers.

I am from Mechanicsburg, PA, and I attended Trinity High School in Camp Hill. In high school, I was a part of the soccer, basketball, and track teams, Spanish Club, and several honor societies. I am double majoring in Engineering, with a concentration in Mechanical Engineering, and Fine Arts. At Elizabethtown, I run for the cross country and track team, and participate in a variety of clubs. I am extremely thankful for the many opportunities available to me through the Stamps Foundation and Elizabethtown College.
