DARBY RYND

Despite the challenges (moving across the country, the pandemic, recurring sore throat and coughs) you’ve persevered and thrived! You are kind and generous, humble, hardworking, and resilient and your joy and enthusiasm for life help you be a wonderful daughter, sister, friend, and performer. It’s been inspiring and moving, watching you in “Mama Mia” and “Into the Woods,” embodying the characters of Donna and The Witch, and singing at concerts and community events, using your talents to uplift and encourage others. We are so proud of you! Thank you for learning, growing, and making the most of the wonderful resources and opportunities at Pepperdine. Wishing you all the best as you continue to pursue your dreams!

With All Our Love, Dad, Mom, Emily & Daniel
