I have had the pleasure of getting to know Amy as her instructor and adviser for the Student Ambassadors. Amy is an impressive student, and it is evident that she takes her academics seriously. However, I believe Amy's personal attributes are what make her such a remarkable young woman. As a Student Ambassador she embraces every service opportunity possible, and she does so with a smile on her face. She is a natural leader, whose tenacity and positive attitude is inspiring. ”
