Headshot of Wanya Ward
  • I earned my bachelor’s in biology at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke in 2020 and my master’s in higher education administration at NC State in 2022.
  • Even though I’ve lived in Raleigh for the past 14 years, my first time seeing the NC State campus was when I officially began my graduate program.
  • I am a first-generation college graduate and master’s graduate, and my current role is to support students who are like me.
  • I’m a big gamer, and I love playing fighting games, such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. My favorite game genre is roleplaying games, such as Dungeons and Dragons and Baldur’s Gate 3.
  • I love cooking, and I often make dishes, such as baked ziti or mac and cheese.
