Something I wish I knew as a Freshman: It is incredibly important to manage your time wisely. Due dates would sneak up on
me and then I would be anxious and stressed out trying to finish the assignment. It
seems self explanatory, but spacing out your work while still being able to make time
for yourself is very important!
Why did you become an ambassador? I am passionate about sociology and I want to inspire others and help new students
feel comfortable and confident about their decision with majoring or minoring in sociology.
What is your favorite memory from your time at UNT? I've met some wonderful people here at UNT that have taught me so much about life
and helped me grow as a person.
How do you plan to use your degree? I plan to use my degrees to pursue a career in Clinical or Social Psychology, conducting
research to better understand people and their environments.
