WSU Student Ambassadors

The most meaningful experience I have ever had while at WSU was when I was awarded two scholarships, nominated by my professors, where I was honored at a departmental dinner. This financial support meant so much to me and my family because it ensured that I would be able to stay in school for at least another semester, after spending semester after semester wondering where I would get money to pay for the next. I was so honored and thankful that my professors saw potential in me to thrive within the academic setting, and it was this that made me even more dedicated to my studies and ensuring my future towards success.

Ability to interact with different groups is not only a critical skill to have in college, but also in life, as the world is full of diverse people. Social interaction is also an important aspect of this job and I am adequately able to not only appropriately communicate with others, but I also enjoy learning about others and meeting new people through social interaction with my positive attitude and friendly demeanor.

I pride myself as being a responsible and reliable worker, able to work long hours while completing any task
