Hey y'all! My name is Marissa Rocha. I am a 21-year-old student from San Marcos, Texas, currently in my third year at the University of Texas at Austin. I am pursuing a major in Government with a minor in Media and Journalism. Through my studies, I have been able to explore the connection between government, policy, and communication. This combination has given me a better understanding of how government and media influence each other, which in turn has helped me explore future career paths and interests!
Living and studying in Austin has been an important part of my experience while at university. I enjoy exploring the city, finding new coffee shops, and spending time in different neighborhoods. Sports are also a big interest of mine, both playing and watching. Especially at a school like Texas, the sports culture never gets old. These activities keep me engaged with the community as well as give me a well-needed break from my studies.
Looking ahead, I want to continue to learn and grow through my studies while also gaining experiences that connect the classroom to the world. I hope to build on the foundation I’ve developed at UT Austin and prepare myself for future opportunities where I can contribute meaningfully in the areas of government, media, or related fields.
