I am excited to contribute to the diverse cultural environment UTD has fostered!

Hi! My name is Jean Cook and I’m a freshman Criminology major! If I wasn’t studying criminology, there is no doubt in my mind that I would be studying film. I hope what I write here helps some people in some way! I hope you all enjoy your time here at UTD! Peace out!

“Today, in the shallow waters of my imprisoned self, mighty tides rise, in the joy of breaking down the doors! In the ecstasy of creation come forth smiles and tears, freedom and bondage, Words from deep within my heart, the joy of bitter pain. The pain of my empty heart comes today– in the ecstasy of creation!” ~ Kazi Nazrul Islam

I put every ounce of my energy to walk a new path in a world dreary with familiarity. But it is a tiresome task. I plead you to join me. We can push each other forward.

Hello! I am Amy Nguyen, a political science major who has an undying love for learning. When I am not studying for school, I love learning foreign languages, traveling around the world, exploring my passion for food, mentoring my peers, and volunteering in the community. I intend to continue not only impacting the world as a whole but also the world of each and every person I meet.

Growing up in Southern Alabama and frequent moving amidst my formative years has undoubtedly had a major impact on who I am today; within me, I carry a piece of every person that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Despite the places I call “home” constantly changing, my childhood love for writing and reading remains steadfast. I hope to one day pursue a career in public service law but in the meantime, I’m enjoying getting to explore all my interests in college.

Hello all, I’m Brennan Stout, a freshman studying GIS, or Geospatial Information Sciences basically maps and computers. I hail from Houston, but am originally from North Carolina. As for my interests, simply put I’m a nerd. Video games, D&D, and lots of books you name it. I am an active member of both the UTD Tabletop and Philosophy clubs. Writing is something I enjoy, and if it helps a few of you avoid the potholes I feel in read away. And with that I bid you adieu.

Heyo! My name’s Alé, and I am currently a freshman here at UTD studying Public Affairs. In my free time I enjoy making playlists with a variety of music genres for me and all my buds.
