Hi, my name is Maria Medina. I'm from Mexicali, Mexico. I am a senior at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga majoring in Psychology and minoring Women's Studies. After college, I plan to pursue a two year dental hygiene program. Eventually, I would like to pursue a master's in mental health/biblical counseling. I have a deep passion for helping others and learning about people. For fun, I love running and participating in races, reading, puzzles (especially map puzzles), hiking, and watching movies.
ThinkAchieve program is design to promote a hands-on experience that builds competence in creative and critical thinking for students beyond the classroom. Students must earn 120 points which can be earned through various methods such courses, attending specific events, campus involvement, and community engagement agreement. I completed by points through my community engagement agreement, my time as a Resident Assistant, GUIDE program, and courses. All of these different experiences have richen my college years and I'm grateful for every person that allowed me to part of them.
