What do you love most about being a Niner?

What I love most about being a Niner is the friendly community, lots of experiences, and the endless opportunities to grow academically and personally while forming lasting relationships. Participation in campus activities and meeting people from all backgrounds has inspired me to go beyond my comfort zone and welcome new points of view. I genuinely feel like UNC Charlotte has provided me with a place to grow, fit in, and get ready for the future while making lifelong memories.

What made you want to be a Housing Ambassador?

I chose to become a Housing Ambassador because HRL played a huge role in helping me build meaningful connections at UNC Charlotte-something I had only dreamed of before. I want to help other students find their place in this community, just like I did. Plus, l've always had a passion for giving tours and sharing my experiences with others.

What extracurricular activities are you involved with on campus?

I am the President of the Communication Studies Student Association, a member of the National Residence Hall Honorary, and I am also on a competitive Esports team with Niner Esports.

What is the best part about living on campus?

The best part for me is the community! Before coming to UNC Charlotte, I had never experienced a true sense of belonging, but living on campus helped me find an incredible group of people who made this university feel like home.
