“I chose to join the clubs at Gateway so that I could have the most fulfilling college experience possible. Gateway offers so many activities and opportunities for their students and I wanted to benefit from this as much as possible. I wanted to interact and guide new students which is why I chose to be an ambassador!”
Major: Paralegal Technology
Clubs: Student Ambassador Program
“I enjoy reading (specifically Nicholas Sparks and Stephen King Novels) traveling to the West Coast, enjoying family time and staying engaged in my studies. As a paralegal student at Gateway Community and Technical College, I appreciate the intellectual rigor of my coursework, which continually challenges me to think critically and develop a strong foundation in legal principles. I'm passionate about pursuing a career in criminal defense and always seek to expand my knowledge. Gateway offers countless opportunities for growth, so I encourage others to explore all that the college has to offer and make the most of their time here.”
