Hello everyone! My name is Krysta, but I go by Ky and I’m a second-year student at MVCC. I am determined to experience more beneficial opportunities compared to my first year, and I’m also looking forward to being a Student Strengths Ambassador. My reasoning?

Patrice Flowers
Major: Nursing
Top Strengths: Command, Communication, Includer, Maximizer, Focus
Wah Gawn (Hello). My name is Patrice Flowers, and I am an international student from Jamaica. I have been a student of MVCC for one semester and I am completely in awe of everything from the fantastic teachers, tutors, and students to the incredible learning atmosphere. I made the decision to apply to be a Strengths Ambassador because I wanted to make the transition easier for other international students. I also want to be able to empower others to take charge of their own future and discover their inner strength. I like performing, watching, and making TikTok videos, hanging out with my friends, and doing other activities outside of school.

Yu Nadi Mon
Major: Nursing
Top Strengths: Ideation, Futuristic, Includer, Developer, Woo
Hello, my name is Yu Nadi Mon. I'm an international student from Myanmar. I major in Nursing and one of my hobbies is to read about astrological shifts. Throughout my life, I have always thought that the ability to focus is the only thing that brings harmony to academic learning. With StrengthsFinder, I discovered that Futuristic is one of my top strengths and that cherishing my future visions has motivated me in achieving my goals. Truthfully, just imagining the future energized me every time and made me confident to carry out academic tasks. Indeed, I am intrigued to find out more about strengths and excited to be a part of MVCC’s Strengths Team.
