Introducing Inspired Conversations, a new series highlighting the voices, experiences, and journeys of the students, faculty, staff, and alumni who make Wiley University what it is.
In our first conversation, we meet Maria Chaves, a senior Mass Communications major from Brasília, Brazil. Maria reflects on her growth at Wiley, the mentors who have pushed her beyond her comfort zone, and how her classroom experience prepared her to step into a professional role as Head of Marketing and Communications for West Texas FC.
This clip is just a glimpse of Maria’s story.
Watch the full conversation on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Z9YG34VOX_4
More Inspired Conversations are coming throughout the year as we continue sharing the stories of the people who make our community special.
