Navigator Sarah is a student of UNC's class of 2023 who is double-majoring in Journalism and Communications. "As the daughter of a Thai immigrant, I’ve learned that understanding and developing an appreciation for other cultures is vital to society. While I served as Student Body President of my high school in Greenville, North Carolina, I initiated the celebration of nationally recognized diversity months by my school’s administration. I have traveled to London and Paris and expect to study in Thailand as a Phillips Ambassador before graduating from UNC. I am excited to work with Carolina Navigators to inspire children across North Carolina to travel and learn more about the great world in which we live."

Navigator Ava is a student of UNC's class of 2023 who is double-majoring in Spanish and Global Studies, with a concentration in Latin America. "I also am minoring in marine biology. Throughout elementary and middle school I was part of a dual language program where I spent half the day in English and half the day in Spanish. Through this program I was able to learn about the vibrant, diverse Latin culture. I have also had the privilege of traveling to Cuba, Costa Rica, and Spain. I attended a language school in Costa Rica while staying with a host family. In Cuba I volunteered through a program called Globe Aware in the city of Havana, helping prevent erosion with the creation of gardens. Throughout these experiences I have developed a passion for learning about other cultures and am excited to share that passion with others while working for Carolina Navigators."
