Favorite Huntsman Experience

My Global Learning Experiences to Peru 2019 and London 2020 were the best trips of my life.

Favorite Faculty Member

Lecturer Lianne Wappett is one of my favorite faculty members in the Business school. She has been so helpful and encouraging. She listened to me several times has played the role of a mentor. She empowers me to dare mighty things and keep up with my dreams.

Why Huntsman/USU?

I chose Utah State University mainly to be closer to where my family migrated to. I was planning to get my associates degree at USU then go to another university in another state. After experiencing the classes and programs in the Huntsman School, I decided to further my studies here and take every possible opportunity that can improve me.
