I have spent the like 2.5 years working with the organization, specializing in study abroad programs, and International student orientation. Over the course of my Stetson career, I have studied abroad both for a semester (Dublin, Ireland) and for a spring program (Athens, Greece). If you ever have any questions about studying abroad, please feel free to reach out! Traveling and the personal development that comes from it, is my #1 passion in life!

Being a WORLD Ambassador enables me to give back to the Stetson community all the warmth, positivity, and support I received - and continue to receive - as an international student. While prompting me to develop my leadership and interpersonal skills, this role expands my worldview, introduces me to new cultures, and fosters international connections. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing the students I helped during New International Students Orientation get involved with other clubs, attend events, and call Stetson their second home. Moreover, it's an honor to be one of the first friends of these students, creating a heartwarming feeling as we bond over our everyday struggles as international students and overcome the language and cultural barriers.

Language proficiency without cultural understanding results in a fluent fool. Relevantly, different symbolic interactions will communicate respect and kindness depending on the cultural backgrounds of those involved. I became a WORLD Ambassador to exchange lessons of culture with international students, and to learn how to express respect in a way that context will effectively illuminate. My role as an Ambassador also provides me the opportunity to encourage my fellow Americans at Stetson University to adopt similar sensibilities regarding multicultural relations.

As an international student, I remember how much the WORLD Ambassadors helped me when I first came to Stetson. Their support made me feel at home, even being so far away. Later, I would see them at campus events, and I thought, “Wow, I’d love to be one of them one day!” I also had the chance to participate in a study abroad program, which inspired me to share my experience and encourage other students to explore these opportunities. Becoming a WORLD ambassador felt like the perfect way to give back and help others feel as welcomed and supported as I did.
