Gateway Ambassador

Class of 2028

Bachelor of Arts, Government & Law

A bit about me: In addition to being a Gateway Ambassador, I work at the Williams Center box office and volunteer with Firth Youth Center. I’m currently pursuing a career in corporate law, with a strong interest in pro bono work as a way to give back to communities like the one I grew up in. Outside of Lafayette, I’m part of an eight-year program called Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO), which has helped me develop career readiness skills and build a strong professional network. I’m excited to share with other students just how valuable Gateway is and to encourage them to connect with our amazing team. My biggest piece of advice when it comes to career development is to take advantage of every opportunity and keep building from there. Trust in yourself and in the work you’ve already put in!
