"I chose to attend UIU on the recommendation of my best friend, who graduated from there. The entire time she attended UIU, she would constantly ask me to come and enroll. She would always say how great UIU is and how everyone treats you like family. I was very impressed. I finally decided to enroll, and that is what I remember the most—the staff remembered my name and they treat me like family.
When I graduate, I intend to further my education with a Master’s in Public Administration. My passion is to work in the community helping wherever I am needed. I want to give people hope and to encourage their faith by any means possible."
