I don’t usually like to brag, but every once in a while, a moment comes along that’s just too special not to share. This weekend was one of those moments — a proud parent milestone I’ll never forget.
Our daughter graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Business major (emphasis in Marketing) and a Philosophy minor. She was also named the 2025 Marketing Outstanding Graduate. This honor came with the incredible opportunity to serve as the featured student speaker at the Marketing Department’s commencement ceremony.
Watching her represent her peers with such poise, warmth, and confidence was one of the proudest moments of our lives. My face actually hurt from smiling so much!
You can watch her speech below (starts at 17:01) — it’s a beautiful reminder of the power of hard work, heart, and a great sense of humor.
We’re beaming with pride and excited for all that’s ahead. Congratulations, Alexa — we love you oodles and oodles!
