What inspires you to serve as a student leader at Texas A&M?

I’ve always had a passion for leading, and the opportunity to empower other Aggies to be leaders as we go through some significant growth is very special to me. I have learned so much about myself serving as a student leader the past three years, both in the type of leader I want to strive for as I get older and the level of impact a passion for serving others can have on others. Serving as a student leader at Texas A&M provided an avenue for me to live out my value of selfless service every day. I couldn’t have asked for a better leadership experience!

What involvement or leadership advice would you give to incoming/new students?

I would advise incoming and new students at Texas A&M to take risks and step outside of their comfort zone because there is nothing that can hurt from trying!

Why should students get involved?

College is so much more than the knowledge you gain inside the classroom.  Getting involved is a great way to expand your horizon and make new friends, all the while taking part in activities you enjoy. There’s an opportunity to do service, sharpen your professional skills, take on new hobbies, and so much more – with over 1,000 organizations, you’re bound to found more than one organization that piques your interest (I know I did!). Moreover, there’s so much opportunity to build community and grow your leadership skills the more you get involved in organizations whose mission and people you care about and a chance to gain skills that will equip you for success in life after college.
