  • Favorite Baylor Memory: I honestly would have to say that one of the best memories that I have here at Baylor is when I went to the 2008 graduation in May. Being able to see so many of the students that I had interacted with and impacted their lives in some way, finally make it to the end of the collegiate journey by crossing that stage made my heart sing. I felt like a proud Mama, which the people sitting near me thought that I was since I was screaming so loud for everyone. It got to the point where those sitting around me actually asked for me to scream for their daughter as well, and I did!!
