Alexandra Mbiya is a Student Ambassador from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Alexandra’s curiosity and eagerness to learn led her to enroll in Central Piedmont’s Advertising and Graphic Design program. Since then, she hasn’t looked back. “I did not choose Central Piedmont; my blessings were attached to Central Piedmont opportunities. Therefore, we chose each other,” says Mbiya.
Central Piedmont has been a home away from home for Alexandra. There has never been a time when I felt lost, lonely, or unwelcome here. Through Central Piedmont’s many avenues of support and opportunity, I met my best self,” says Mbiya. Ultimately, she plans to continue fulfilling her passions by becoming a graphic designer who designs for the good of the community and to educate others.
As a student at Central Piedmont, Alexandra has had access to a wide range of resources, from scholarship opportunities to wonderful faculty and staff.
Alexandra’s advice for future Central Piedmont students: “Stay curious, that is how you learn and evolve.”
