Why did you become a Student Ambassador?
I wanted to give back to the UTD community, and make connections with likeminded individuals!

Campus Involvement: I work as a Peer Advisor, and volunteer as a First Year Leader!

What has surprised you most about yourself since starting at UTD?
I’ve become a lot better at communication and getting to know other people. I’m a pretty introverted person, but in my time at UTD I feel like I’ve been able to put myself out there, and have made some amazing friendships and connections because of it!

Favorite UTD Tradition: I love Temoc socks. I have a pair for every year I’ve been at UTD and I wear them unironically.

Interesting Fact About This Ambassador: I have two pet frogs named Frank and Stevie.
