Peer Ambassadors

EPAC Peer Ambassadors are previous exploratory students who have since declared a major and enjoy giving back to students. From offering support to students, to connecting with our office and other UB resources, talk with one of our EPAC Peer Ambassadors today!

TOMBARI AUGUSTINE

(she/her/hers)

Hometown: Buffalo, NY

Academics: Second year, Public Health major

Advice: For students exploring majors, don’t be afraid to network and get to know your professors better. UB is a big school with so many programs, so talking to people is a great way to explore UB's many opportunities!

Fun Fact: My last name is Augustine and I was born in August.

MACIE BRICKER

(she/her/hers)

Hometown: Saratoga Springs, NY

Academics: Second year, Environmental Sustainability major and Communication minor

Advice: I started out as exploratory, having so many different ideas as to what I wanted my college experience to look like and no idea where to start. EPAC helped me learn about all the majors offered at UB and taught me about some like Environmental Sustainability (EVS) that I had no idea were even possibilities. I hope that I can help in guiding your future at UB the same way EPAC helped me. 

Fun Fact: I thought I would never find a major that I loved, until this summer when I went on my first ever solo trip camping out west. After this trip, I realized my true passion and decided to try out environmental studies.

ELIZABETH CAMACHO

(she/her/hers)

Hometown: Bronx, NY

Academics: First year, Psychology major 

Advice: Don't be afraid to explore! It's unrealistic to have everything figured out by the age of 18 or even 25. No one's path is exactly linear and sometimes it takes unique experiences and even some fails to figure out what you want to do. Don't allow yourself too much stress and know that the resources are here for you to explore different options!

Fun Fact: I played the trombone for four years.

ANDY LIN

(he/him/his)

Hometown: Brooklyn, NY

Academics: Third year, Business Administration (management) major

Advice: Don't tie the trajectory of your life too tightly to a specific major. Embrace the detours, the unexpected changes, and the challenges. They often lead to opportunities and perspectives you might not have considered before.

Fun Fact: I enjoy trying out new recipes, climbing the ranks in League of Legends (currently Plat 4), and customizing sneakers and clothes.

KYLE SCHWAM

(he/him/his)

Hometown: Commack, NY

Academics: Second year, Business Administration (financial analysis) major

Advice: Don't stress about being undecided. College is the best place to discover what you do and don’t enjoy. Take chances, explore different subjects, and use this time to figure out who you are and what truly interests you.

Fun Fact: I spent last summer working at Hershey Park as a ride operator as a part of their leadership development internship.
