That was until she had the opportunity to become a resident assistant and be part of the team that plans the SOAR Orientation program for first-year students. "These opportunities challenged me to push myself out of my comfort zone," she said. "As a result, I have experienced a great deal of growth while gaining the self-confidence I felt I was missing."
