Claim To Fame:

My claim to fame in college was being featured on my school’s website and in the campus newspaper after being accepted into the Meridian-Cox Foreign Service Fellowship. The recognition meant a lot because it highlighted not only the accomplishment itself but also the work and dedication behind it. Being interviewed and celebrated by the college community made me realize how significant an achievement it was and how far-reaching the fellowship’s impact could be on my future. It also inspired other students to ask about the program and consider pursuing similar opportunities, serving as a beacon of inspiration for their own journeys. That moment became a reminder that when you put in the effort, people notice, and it encouraged me to keep aiming higher.

Most Memorable Moment:

One of my most memorable college moments was being selected for the Meridian-Cox Foreign Service Fellowship in Washington, D.C. The program brought together students from across the country to explore diplomacy, leadership, and global problem-solving. During the fellowship, I participated in workshops led by diplomats and policy experts, practiced professional communication, and learned how foreign service officers work to address international challenges. What made the experience unforgettable was how much it pushed me to grow. I built confidence speaking in professional settings, strengthened my teamwork skills, and connected with peers who share the same drive for public service and global engagement. Being part of the Meridian-Cox Foundation helped me see my future in international affairs more clearly and gave me the motivation to keep pursuing opportunities that challenge and develop me.
