She was also named a finalist for the Tommy G. Thompson Leadership Scholarship, which is awarded to undergraduates who have shown public leadership in their lives in a way that reflects the legacy of Governor Tommy G. Thompson, who focused on common sense solutions to tackle big problems through teamwork and a passion for making Wisconsin a better place. She also recently won the Rosalie Amlie Morton Award, which recognizes graduating seniors in the community and nonprofit leadership program for their excellence in scholarship, leadership, and service.
