"I loved the close knit feel of UNI and the opportunities it provided me as an undergraduate. I knew that building upon my undergraduate experience would further my career aspirations working in higher education while accommodating my personal life and work.

I acquired a deeper skill set in research, critical thinking, teaching, interpersonal communications, and second language education. My language and culture studies gave me a more holistic understanding of social constructs and interactions, which has helped me excel in communicating and working with diverse populations, especially students."
