My name is Sarah Ithipathachai and I am a sophomore at UNC-Chapel Hill 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.
My name is Michelle Jamanca and I’m a freshman at UNC from Charlotte, North Carolina. I’m interested in majoring in Global Studies or Social Work. I grew up in a Peruvian household, and have had the opportunity to visit Peru a couple of times. I hope to visit more Spanish speaking counties in the future, as well as study abroad in Europe. I wanted to work with Carolina Navigators because I love learning and teaching about cultures. I think it is very important for kids to learn about cultures from a young age, and I would love to be a part of that!
