As an international student being far
from home was not the easiest thing;
but being at Carey has taught me so
much more than I could ever have
known. The Christian environment
helped me recognize my values as an
African woman from Rwanda. The
cultural differences and beliefs I
experienced at Carey made me more
confident and grateful. As a member
of Carey Connection, WCU's student
ambassador team, I was honored to
experience the diversity of students
that represented different
continents. Our experiences made us
very close as a Carey family. It has
really been an honor to be part of
the Carey family. It has made me the
woman I am today, working as my
father's personal assistant in our
family business. Wishing you all the
best with regards from the Valley of a
Thousand Hills!.

I completed my undergraduate
.degree with a major in Finance at
William Carey Unive rsity. As a native
New Zealander I chose to study in
the U.S. for the unique and exciting
opportunity to exce l in both
academics and athletics.
My four years as a student athlete at
William Carey were highly
memorable. The traditional campus
setting provided the backdrop for
developing lasting fellowships with
an internationally diverse group of
studen ts.
The qual ity of the curriculum and the
pragmatic faculty provided a
challenging and stimulating
environ ment for learning. With a
balance of theory and practice the
course work helped prepare me for
real-world business environments
and equipped me with the
confidence to shine.
Post-graduation has been marked
with success both on and off the
athletics fie ld. After being selected to
represent New Zealand in soccer I
went on to play in the 2010 FIFA
World Cup in South Africa. Following
my soccer career my academic
background coupled with
professional experience has provided
the perfect balance to develop my
skillset as a Project Manager
implementing corporate
performance management solutions.

I came to Carey on the
recommendation of a relative and it
was one of the best decisions I have
made. What stands out the most
about my Carey experience is how
caring and genuine the faculty, staff
and students are. As an international
student, being thousands of miles
away from my family and friends was
terrifying but within weeks of my
arrival I felt like part of the Carey
family and I had made lots of new
friends. My professors and the staff
were extremely invested in my
future; not only did they want me to
get good grades, they also wanted
me to be successful in a career that I
loved . That continual encouragement
and support helped me choose a
career in higher education and
student affairs so I too can make the
same difference in the lives of other
students.
