It’s my first time receiving an award from our professional organization. As a first-gen international student, this 1st place winner of 2025 ACJS student panel presentation award means a lot. Thanks to everyone who has supported my journey—I owe you all so much!

I'm still working towards becoming “an incredible professor,” but this student's email means the world to me. This was my first in-person teaching experience and it’s A LOT OF WORK! But I'm thrilled to hear my students enjoyed the class! I'm looking forward to receiving their feedback report!
