Something I wish I knew as a Freshman: As a transfer student, I wish I knew more about opportunities for students to gain access to aid or help with outside expenses. UNT has a lot of resources that many students who are struggling financially may not know of.

Why did you become an ambassador? I became an ambassador so that I could help students who want to get involved in the WLLC department and to better facilitate the connections between the students and faculty via language.

What is your favorite memory from your time at UNT? My favorite memories have been from watching French films in FREN 4065 (French Culture Through Cinema) and laughing with both my classmates and my professor.

How do you plan to use your degree? I plan to teach French at the high school level whilst progressing to a masters in studying language acquisition as well as other world languages in the future.
