Hi! My name is Joanna Crane, and I am a sophomore at Western Wyoming College. I am majoring in Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and this is my second year being a Student Ambassador. Outside of school, I enjoy being outdoors, riding horses, baking, and doing different crafts. I really enjoy being involved at Western and getting to meet new people.

I became a Student Ambassador because I wanted to be more involved at Western Wyoming College and help other students feel comfortable and welcome on campus. When I first came to Western, I liked how friendly and supportive everyone was, and I wanted to be able to give that same experience to new and future students.

Being a Student Ambassador has also helped me step outside of my comfort zone. I am naturally a little shy, so giving campus tours, talking to new people, and helping at events has helped me become more confident. I have enjoyed learning more about Western so I can answer questions and share what makes the college special.

One of my favorite parts of being a Student Ambassador is getting to meet students and families who are visiting campus. Choosing a college can be exciting but also stressful, so I like being someone they can talk to and ask questions. I enjoy showing them around campus and helping them picture what being a student at Western could look like.

I became a Student Ambassador because I wanted to make connections, grow as a person, and help others feel like they belong at Western. It has been a great opportunity for me to become more involved in my college community while also making a positive difference for future students.
