Mckenzi L. Rogalla

  • Senior, Spanish and Biological Sciences double major with a Pre-Physician Assistant track

One of the greatest influences in the development of my character has been the opportunities I had to travel outside the United States to learn about different countries and cultures. My travels had multiple influences on my character such as giving me a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility, widening my horizons, and allowing me to become an open-minded learner. Additionally, it opened the door for me to my second language, which I have been able to use throughout my education and work experience while attending university.

These experiences have also shifted me towards my current majors and I will continue to carry the lessons I learned from the people who welcomed me into their homes with open arms into my future career.
