Ruby Manoles
Hometown: Orono, Minnesota
Academic Year: Sophomore
Major: Spanish Education , teaching endorsements in ESL and Bilingual/bicultural education
Minor: Music, Special Education
Things I am Involved in:
Cumbres, a teacher preparation program, and student radio. I am a musician working on recording my EP. I also have been doing some amateur hand modeling work.
My Plan After College:
If my music career doesn’t work out, my plan is to move back to Argentina (I lived there for a gap year after graduating high school) and open up an institute for adults with special needs. They lack programs that help promote independence for adults with special needs, and I hope to open an institute that does that.
Why I Chose UNC:
I knew I wanted to be in Colorado and UNC has a great teacher education program. I also felt right at home when I stepped on campus.
Advice To My Freshman Self:
YOLO leads to irresponsible actions
If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, real or fictional, with whom would it be?

“Hakuna Matata”
Favorite Movie:
The Goonies, Transformers, This Is It, The Wedding Planner, Life Size
