Please provide a quote about your Archer experience. My experience at Archer has been nothing short of transformative. At Archer, I have been given the tools, agency and support to blossom into my best self. Furthermore, I have been able to explore the depths of my beliefs and interests. Archer has become my second home and within these walls, I have made lifelong friendships and connections. There are no words that can express my level of gratitude and there is absolutely no place I would have rather spent these last seven years. 

What new passion or interest did you discover while at Archer? While at Archer, I discovered a few new interests, one of which was podcasting. At the end of my sophomore year, I went to an information session on The Oracle’s freelance program and initially thought I wanted to start a column. After hearing about the new multimedia podcasting program, and talking it over with one of my closest friends, we made the decision to start our own podcast about Black culture and history. For the last year, we have been drafting, editing, and releasing episodes on The Oracle. Our episodes have also been released on platforms like Spotify. This is a passion that I think elsewhere I would never have explored. However thanks to Archer, I've not only explored podcasting, but I’ve also learned tremendously from it. 

Why did you choose to become an Archer ambassador? I chose to become an Archer ambassador because I take great pride in representing my school. During my years here, Archer has poured so much into me and I believe it is only fitting that I reciprocate. Moreover, I love knowing that my role as an ambassador helps to shape the next generation of Archer girls and the beginning of their Archer experience.
