Name: Gisselle Montemayor
Age: 22
Major: Biomedical Sciences
College: Health Affairs
Hometown: McAllen, Texas
High School: James Nikki Rowe High School
Why UTRGV?
I chose UTRGV because I was offered a full ride for all four years of college and I would still be able to pursue a degree in what I was interested in. I am a very family-oriented person so staying here I felt would be the best decision for me. Many people don’t realize that the RGV is growing and changing, providing many opportunities that the generations before us didn’t have. Here I am four years later, debt free and pursuing a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences.
