Hello all! My name is Deannaliz Batista, and I am originally from Manhattan, New York. I am a RACC student since 2016, I am enrolled in the Engineering program. I was inspired to pursue an engineering career after I joined the STEM summer camp while I was a high school student. I plan to take general courses here at RACC and transfer my credits to a four-year college. I became a Raven’s Ambassador in 2017 because I wanted to help my peers to be more familiar with the buildings and resources that RACC has to offer. I also want to improve my communication and interpersonal skills. Being accepted into the Ambassador's family has been one of the things I have enjoyed the most; the atmosphere is welcoming and helpful. I love spending time with my friends and reading a good book.

Hello, my name is Kyle Karpew and I am a Business Administration transfer. After I finish my Associates degree at RACC, I plan on attending Temple University to complete my bachelors in Marketing and minor in Communications.

Being a first-generation college student is overwhelming and a challenge, and I would recommend the Ambassadors program if you want to work on professionalism as well as help your overall academic goals.

Hello, my Name is Rhoda Wilkerson. I am currently enrolled in the Addiction Studies Program here at Reading Area Community College. I will be graduating in the spring of 2019, and plan to further my education in the Addictions field. I would also like to study in the areas of Social Work and Psychology.

Studying in multiple areas will allow me to help others and to not be stagnated in one area since my passion is helping all people.
