Graduation Quarter: Spring 2024

Kumusta (Hello)! My name is Elaiza Ginez. I am a Filipino American going into my junior year at UWT. As my culture has been a great influence towards building my personality. I feel honored to have learned about various cultures around the world and how they connect with people. This is why I am so excited to connect with you! Everyone comes from unique and different cultural backgrounds, so I hope you’re willing to share with us!

To share a little bit about myself, I am pursuing a major psychology and minoring in criminal justice. My passion for wanting to understand and help people bought me into psychology. And my interest in criminal justice followed as I desired to find different ways to support others. In my downtime, I enjoy relaxing with my dog, watching movies/ shows, and painting landscapes. Other than that, I love traveling or discovering new places near me. As of right now, I have traveled domestically and to Asia (such as the Philippines, Japan, and Korea) so I hope to explore Europe someday. If you have any suggestions on places to visit, I would love to hear them!

Furthermore, my goal as an OGA Fellow is for everyone to have an opportunity to experience various cultures. Whether that could be through our amazing study abroad or through our fantastic Global Ambassadors program. As well for domestic and international students to connect with each other on campus. Perhaps, the person you’ll meet will have amazing stories! So I look forward to all of you joining us and creating fun memories together. Please come and say hi or if you have anything you want to know, feel free to reach out!
