Congratulations to my fellow award winners and all 2024 graduates! I am incredibly honored to receive this award. I would like to thank my family, friends, professors, teammates, and coaches for their guidance and support during my four years as an engineering student-athlete. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to attend Columbia and swim for the Lions. Roar, Lion, Roar!
