Goldline Captain Cynthia Ramos shares how she survived zoom practice

left for spring break, and then we never came back. My academic career shifted,” Ramos said.

Ramos found it difficult to adjust to online school since she is a visual learner. She remembered questioning herself and thinking; “Okay maybe this isn’t for me.”

Having that social interaction taken away made her shy. Being one of the only students to show up to hybrid courses made it difficult to participate.

Being a first-generation college student and earning her degree was a non-negotiable for Ramos. Staying active with dance helped her push through the isolation of the pandemic.

When summer came, she started working with Career Services before working on the Programming and Activities Committee.

“I applied during the summer and got my internship,” she said.

Dr. Gary Stout gave her tips on mass communication and leadership. She is pursuing a career in social media marketing and content creation.

Ramos plans to share the knowledge she has gained at Texas Wesleyan in the next chapter of her life.

“I want to make the people around me better as well,” she said.

She is not sure what steps she will be taking next. It could be on the marketing in the higher education team at UTA, working as an influencer or managing a content creation plan.
