My favorite part about graduation is reflecting on all of the beautiful twists and turns of my life journey so far. I realize I'm incredibly fortunate to have been so many places, as each "home" of mine has brought wonderful people into my life. Thank you, @uofsc, @sc_campuscompact, @nationalservice, @uscaiken, @universityofri, @salveregina, @risd1877, and all the amazing humans who have given me the love and confidence necessary to pursue my dreams! #myURIcap #classof2017 #mastered #studentaffairs @peacecorps (at Narragansett, Rhode Island)

What a beautiful night it was to see the most amazing sunset and a glimpse of the angels of @fenwaypark. I'm going to miss you, @redsox, but you'll hear me cheering from Benin for the next two years! #redsoxyouaretheonlyonlyonly 📸: @michellemachine (at Fenway Park)

"It's a great day to [present a Master's Capstone]." - Dr. Derek Shepherd / Steve Spurrier / Me • Today was the biggest day of my graduate career: I presented the findings of my Master's Capstone Project, the assessment I have been working on this entire academic year. I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to explore a topic of which I am passionate about, and actually put it out to assess in the real world. To all those special humans who supported me this year, especially when I had zero confidence in myself as a researcher: I love you, and I cannot thank you enough! • @universityofri @uri_csp @uriabroad #studentaffairs #csp #classof2017 (at University of Rhode Island)

Tomorrow may be the biggest day of my graduate career, but today I got to spend some quality time out in nature with one of my favorite humans. Life is good. ✌🏻❤ 🌲 (at Ross's Cliffs and Old Furnace State Park)

My "chicken soup" weekend was a pure success; wandering around west village, rooftop napping, eating dim sum, enjoying the sunny day in Central Park, watching a soccer game in Brooklyn Heights, walking across the Brooklyn Bridge, and meeting new friends at a rooftop bar was just what my heart and soul needed. If only I could forget that this was the last time I would be seeing @chelseabryan_ and @urgettingadell for 29 months. You both fill my life with so much love and adventure; I am so lucky to have friends like you that make saying "see you later" so difficult. (at Brooklyn Bridge)

Major kudos to this nostalgic @universityofri senior for reminding me to be spontaneous and enjoy every last second of my time left as a #rhodyram. These next few months will fly, but I'm glad to be spending them with you, @kcoccio! #classof2017 @rhodytheram (at The Ryan Center)

Spent my favorite day of the year with some of my favorite @risd1877 and @risd_oiss folks. The connections made between art and service by our students inspired me. As artists and activists, this generation will truly change the world and achieve Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream. Shoutout to @risdserves and #ricampuscompact (especially @carolineehumphrey) for making this #mlkday2017 one to remember! @nationalservice @americorpsalums @campus_compact #dayofservice (at Providence, Rhode Island)

Blizzard conditions call for homemade butternut squash soup topped with pecans and goat cheese. Shoutout to Chef @jreilly12 for the inspiration and @kcoccio for the RI butternut squash. ❤ @foodnetwork #blizzardmeal #winterstormhelena (at Narragansett, Rhode Island)

My heart is so full with pride after watching @thenaticks perform at #HarpoonOFest. These men deserve all the love that the massive crowd gave to them today! I'm incredibly lucky to have them in my Rhody family. 💙 @harpoonbrewery (at Harpoon Brewery)

Love beer. Love life. Loving my second #HarpoonOFest and the biggest @thenaticks show yet with these loyal women. @harpoonbrewery @courtfootfive @muhrietate (at Harpoon Brewery)
