Why I Chose Stetson:

Community and the welcoming campus were some of the aspects that made me fell in love with Stetson, as well as the diversity and number of international students that make it feel like our home away from home.

Involvements on Campus:

Marketing committee for Hatter Productions, Event Director for the Brazilian Student Association, and Resident Assistant. 

What I Like to Do on Weekends:

I like to spend time with my friends, watching movies or playing something around campus, sometimes we spend time in the green reading a book or just sitting outside and talking about everything.

My Favorite Class at Stetson:

My favorite class was Professional Communication because I had an amazing and welcoming professor and I felt comfortable enough to engage in class, which I was not used to doing, not counting the incredible experiences and learning I took from it.

Advice to Prospective Students:

Come ready to get out of your comfort zone, but relax, it is really fun, enjoy the most of it as you can, and don't be afraid to speak up. 

Favorite Place on Campus:

The Stetson Green, because it can be a quiet place to study, relax, and read, as much as can be a loud place with fun activities and events. You can always see someone walking with their pets, or having fun with their friends, and I enjoy a lot to feel in a place like this.
