Gabby
Hi! My name is Gabby Thompson and I am a current first generation and honors student at IUSB. Here, I am studying psychology with a minor in counseling. After I graduate, I plan on coming back to IUSB to pursue a master's degree in social work. My favorite thing about IUSB is all of the amazing people and staff I have met here. I am always looking to help others and get to know different people— this is why I am pursuing my degree! Also, my dream job is in child advocacy and forensic interviewing. Outside of school I enjoy cooking, baking, and watching documentaries. I also have a passion for the Spanish language and am practicing in my free time.
Mariela
Hello! My name is Mariela Garcia Diaz, and I am a junior studying Marketing & Advertising with a minor in Spanish. I was born and raised in Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico and had the opportunity to finish high school in the U.S. I chose to attend IUSB to pursue a field that reflects my vision for the future and supports my professional goals. My favorite thing about IUSB is how much they support student success. They offer many opportunities to learn, grow, and get involved on campus. I enjoy being a Titan Ambassador because I get to meet new people, talk about my great experiences on campus and facilitate the process for Spanish speakers. Outside of school I like hanging out with friends, going to K-Pop concerts, and dancing!
¡Hola! Mi nombre es Mariela Garcia Diaz, estoy en mi tercer año de la universidad con un concentrado en Mercadotecnia y Publicidad, así como también estudio una especialidad en el idioma español. Nací y crecí en Villahermosa, Tabasco, México y tuve la oportunidad de terminar la preparatoria en los Estados Unidos. Elegí IUSB porque me brinda la oportunidad de desarrollarme en un campo que coincide con mi visión del futuro y fortalece mis metas profesionales. Una de las cosas que me gustan de IUSB es la manera en que apoyan y guían a los estudiantes al éxito. Ofrecen una infinidad de oportunidades para aprender, crecer e involucrarse en la vida estudiantil. Disfruto de ser Titan Ambassador porque puedo conocer nuevas personas, compartir mis experiencias en la universidad y facilitar el proceso para aquellos que hablan español. Fuera de la vida universitaria me gusta salir con amigas, ir a conciertos de K-Pop y bailar.
