Bianca Arzan-Montanez is a senior studying Gender & Sexuality Studies in Dornsife and Public Relations in Annenberg. This year's recipient of the Gender & Sexuality Studies' Tedesco Scholarship is inspired by issues in equity, inclusion and social justice both inside the classroom and outside of it. She has held multiple positions at USC's Daily Trojan including news editor and associate managing editor, and she currently serves as Spanish supplement editor. She also served as chair of communications for the Latine Student Assembly and volunteered for the American Heart Association.

“You’ll find yourself and
what calls to you along the way.”
|
When asked for her advice to freshmen, Bianca shared that "You don't have to know exactly what you want to do after college." Students who feel that pressure often force themselves to do things they think they are "supposed" to do. Instead, she encourages students to "nurture the things that you enjoy." This can be difficult during a busy school year, but she reminds people to allow space for inspiration. That way, "you'll find yourself and what calls to you along the way."
