Surfer boy GRADUATED! 🤙🏽🏄‍♂️🎓✨

I graduated from UVU with my Bachelor of Science in Public Relations and Strategic Communication with a minor in both Applied Communication and Human Resource Management✅

5 years at UVU I spent with a lot of stress, laughter, smiles, mental breakdowns, obstacles and curveballs thrown at me. I’ve gained friends and lost friends. Many mental health issues with quizzes, papers, essays and projects and homework piling up. I managed to go to work and school both full time and I still manage a social life also. I wanted to give up and bring myself down. I pulled it together and I didn’t give up and never thought I would make it but here I am today!

UVU has given me so many opportunities and life changing moments that I experienced. I’ll never forget my time here at this wonderful campus. I am very grateful for my experiences and the people I have met along the way. I found the type of career I wanted to do officially in the field of Hospitality Management and Food & Beverage and becoming a future Director of Sales/Event Coordinator in the PR field!

I love my parents so much! They never told me to go to school but I decided for myself to go and they are my biggest cheerleaders and watching me find my own adventure. For the rest of my family, I thank them as well for coming and allowing me to be an inspiration to them.

Lastly, I want to thank 5 of my best friends (who you all know as Time and Place) that was able to meet during my time in Utah. For being an inspiration to me and allowing me to stay in school and keep going. Happy I made the decision to go back to school because of them. They knew how important this was to me graduate and they watched me struggle personally and mentally. (More on them later)

What’s next for me? We will have to find out later as I continue to find my own path down the road. I pray to god and thank him everyday to lead me where I need to be next🙏🏻

Thank you so much UVU for everything! You have been AMAZING and I will miss this amazing campus!

Forever Wolverine and now officially a UVU alumni! 🐺
