(08/05/24 9:55am)
As I take the next step in my journalism career, I will never forget the people and the place that took a chance on me as a young journalist.

I still remember the day my first article about the UF golf team was published, and it was a moment that I will cherish forever because it further ignited my love for storytelling. As a freshman who knew little about journalism, The Alligator welcomed me with open arms and inspired me to become a better writer.

When I first transferred to UF in 2022, I moved into a small one-bed residence hall in Sledd Hall. It took all the money I had in my bank account to get that room. Frankly, not the best money spent for your first home away from home. However, it came with a good price.
