Communication<\/a><\/p>\n

Managing Editor of The Banner, Marymount\u2019s student-produced newspaper<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Describe your background and how you ended up at Marymount.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I was born in Virginia, but I grew up most of my life in Honduras. I moved back here to the United States in 2016, graduated high school and enrolled at Marymount. It\u2019s been the best choice I\u2019ve ever made by far regarding academics. I didn’t expect to be at a private Catholic institution ever in my life, so I\u2019m really thankful that Marymount gave me this opportunity to study Communications. It\u2019s something that I\u2019m passionate about, so I\u2019m really grateful for the people, the staff and my friends who made me feel comfortable as I was coming in into college.<\/p>\n

What has your academic experience been like in the Communication program?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pretty good. I definitely have learned a lot of things that I didn’t expect to learn. I didn’t know the importance of communication \u2013 to me, I just wanted to go into journalism. But there’s so many rules, ethics you’ve got to follow. It was really crucial for me to adapt, learn and put into practice everything that I\u2019ve learned all throughout college.<\/p>\n
