โ๏ธA massive drum roll for the creator of the ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐ series ๐๐๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฆ๐ฌ, a Senior, Advertising major!
๐ฌ โIโve basically grown up around Norman my whole life. Both of my parents have worked for OU at different points, so the campus always felt familiar. I honestly didnโt even think I needed a tour, but junior year of high school, I wanted to do all the ๐๐ช๐ฃ ๐๐ค๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ช๐๐. I toured Price College of Business first and fell in loveโฆ with a college campus, not Price itself. I came back another day and toured Ga***rd, and Iโve never felt more at home. I was nervous (obviously), but my Ambassador tour guide was genuinely the friendliest person Iโd ever met. I still remember getting a handwritten ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฉ๐ค๐ช๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ก๐ค๐ง๐ card afterward and crying because I felt so seen and cared for. Now, three years later, I get to be that person for other students! As a Ga***rd Ambassador, Iโm often someoneโs very first impression of Ga***rd, and that makes me so, so happy. Ga***rd has given me opportunities I never couldโve imagined: studying in the United Kingdom, attending conferences in New York, driving company reps for Top Jobs OU, getting real jobs just from being a Ga***rd student, and so much more. I also put myself through college, so scholarships are everything to me. If it werenโt for Ga***rdโs scholarship opportunities, I genuinely wouldnโt be at OU right now. Iโm also involved in Ga***rdโs student-run Lindsey + Asp Advertising and Public Relations Agency, where we work with real clients on real work. Iโve been on the Ga***rd 25-year anniversary account, which means Iโve been behind the scenes gathering and creating this entire ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐ series! Itโs nice to finally introduce myself! ๐๐ฎ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐? Soak it all in. I never wanted the ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ก college experience, but these years have both shaped me professionally and given me lifelong friends I wouldnโt trade for anything. Alsoโฆ create and update your LinkedIn. Trust me. I feel like I could teach a seminar at this point.โ
