Student Ambassadors
Our ambassadors offer valuable insight to prospective students and families on life at Lynn. See their stories and connect with them today.
I chose to come to Lynn because I really love the Florida climate and I wanted to be close to my grandma. Outside of class, I am captain of our school's debate team and that is something that I take great pride in. I also like to play video games, watch movies, and spend time with my friends. After Lynn I hope to go into the sports television business because I have a great passion for a variety of sports and journalism.
