🎓💙 Meet Luis A. Machado, Bachelor’s in Elementary Education

“My favorite part of NAU? The professors, hands down. They truly cared about making sure we understood the material, not just passed the class. Their support helped me grow academically and gave me the confidence and mindset to take on life beyond college.”

“NAU challenged me in the best ways. It wasn’t always easy, but every obstacle helped me build confidence and realize I’m capable of more than I thought.”

💬 Advice to his day-one self: “You got this. Hold your head high and roll with the punches.”

➡️ What’s next: Pursuing a Master’s in English as a Second Language
