GROUP NAME: Adrian's Aquanauts
Hello all my party people! I’m so pumped to meet all of you and hear your stories. I’m Adrian Hinton and I was born in the BEST territory of the United States: Puerto Rico. My family lived there for four years AA (after Adrian), moved many places, then settled in Stansbury Park, Utah. In high school I swam, played water polo, did choir, debate, and danced on my school’s ballroom team. Then off I went to college. I am just about to finish up my second year here at SUU. It has taught me more than just what the classes offered me. I have learned how to connect with people and share life with them. One of the biggest contributors to this lesson is my involvement with the Presidential Ambassadors. I am working toward my bachelors with majors in Biology and Human Nutrition, and have completed my minor in chemistry. I know SO many animal facts guys, it's kind of crazy. My end goal is to be a neurologist and work to regenerate nervous tissue. The very top of my bucket list is to learn how to surf in the ocean, because my entire childhood was shaped by the Surf’s Up. I love hikes, poetry, and drawing. I’m so pumped to meet all of you, see you soon!

Jaggur Walker |
GROUP NAME: J Walkers
Whadddupp everyone! I go by Jaggur Walker and I come from the city of Pleasant Grove where I am the middle child of 7 kids! In high school (GO Vikings!) I thrived most when I was running with my Cross Country team or playing soccer. Being involved with Hope Squad and Student Government throughout most of my school years taught me so much about people and their unique stories. This experience had a big impact on me, to the point that I wanted to further my study in Psychology here at SUU! I am just finishing up my second year here and I have loved learning about people as they come. Some of my hobbies include listening to music, concert chasing, going for a run, snowboarding and eating anything spicy! I am currently a Presidential Ambassador here on campus and I love recruiting for this place where I have found a lot of happiness. This will be my first year being a part of GHA & I am so excited to meet you all and have some stellar times! GO T-BIRDS!
