    I had the pleasure of first meeting Beeca during my year as a one of the Graduate Resident Directors at BU for Upper Bay State Road. Becca was one of my All Star Student Staff members, not only helping me grow professionally but personally as well. I had the second pleasure of reconnecting with Becca at Simmons University, when she joined the amazing Advising Staff and oversaw the First to FINish program, which worked closely with my staff in the Multicultural Center. Becca was indeed a Gem and absolutely grounded in humanity. Her loss and impact will continue to send ripples through the Simmons and BU community.

    As a brand new student at Boston University, Becca was the first friendly face and voice I recognized in the neuroscience department. Despite the struggles of the pandemic, she was there whenever we needed and I can speak for a lot of us students who were sad to see her go, but proud of her for heading to Simmons. She was a light to the department and a comfort for me as a student <3

    Although I only met with Becca once, this meeting has stuck with me. She radiated joy, and was extremely helpful in planning the remainder of my college education. With this, I can only imagine the impact she had on other people's lives. May she rest peacefully, and her memory be carried with us all.
