“Communication is more than just learning about nonverbal cues and behavior, it’s also about reflecting in on yourself to see how your surroundings, past experiences, and culture can influence your identity and mindset. My degree has not only made me more aware of others, but it has also made me more self-aware and honest with myself. “
