Thank you to those who advised me and supported my path through academics and mentorship, I am sure of my future because of you!"
"Tessa, I can't put into words how important you have been to me in the last three years. I never could have made it here without you. From orientation week to graduation, you have been there every step of the way. I am going to miss seeing your face in class everyday, talking about our flies, and having dinner together in Wads. I am excited for our next steps, and I know the miles between us won't slow us down. Thank you for being such an incredible friend!"
"Thanks to the Department of Biological Sciences for support through teaching assistantships, the Great Lakes Research Center for a great place to work, and the Huckarelli Lab Group for laughing at my stupid jokes."
