I have been involved in many organizations at Harvard, however, HCFA has had the biggest impact on my college experience. I am eternally grateful for the mentorship I have received from Christian Union ministry fellows and alumni and the friendships I have made with fellow brothers and sisters in the community. God is at work at Harvard and I am thankful to have spent my time rooted in this fellowship.

A special memory I have from HCFA is from the fall retreat of my senior year. Each respective class gathered separately to pray for each other and our campus. That time was extra special for me because my class was reminiscing on all our retreats and Bible courses at Harvard, remembering the struggles of our academics, and celebrating the spiritual breakthroughs each of us had experienced. Gratitude and joy filled my heart as I thought about the impact that Christian Union has had on my life trajectory. As I graduate from Harvard this spring, I am excited to see how the Lord will use the foundation He has laid in me as I go on to Cambridge, England to pursue an MPhil in Epidemiology.
