"I feel honored and blessed to have been chosen for The O’Shaugnessy Scholarship and I would like to reiterate my thanks to the O’Shaugnessy family and the admissions staff at St. Kate’s," she said. "Currently, I see dental or medical school in my future. The scholarship has given me the freedom to afford the next step while enjoying my undergrad experience."
