Colorado Mesa University student-athlete and singer/songwriter Izzy Burns' resiliency shines through in the classroom, on stage and on the beach volleyball court. As a child, Burnes had 20 airway surgeries and relied on a tracheostomy to breathe. She persevered through these and other challenges. Burns released her 20th original song on Apple Music and Spotify this fall and played a key role in CMU's beach volleyball national championship victory last year.
