Unforeseen bonuses are the lifelong friendships she developed through her time at Lewis and Clark and at her internship.  An unplanned pregnancy presented some added challenges during her internship, but she received the necessary support from family and friends, from L&C, from her internship, and from her faith in God.  It is with great joy that she summarizes this year: completion of a Masters degree, a new baby boy and a new job that she loves (despite the tough economy).
