One Book Ambassadors

Aria Hoesley

Hi! My name is Aria Hoesley and I am a second year majoring in Biology with a minor in Data Science. On campus, I'm team captain of the chess team, on the exec board for NUThrift, and a member of NUFT and BSA. I love spending my free time reading by the lakefill, exploring thrift shops, and hanging out with my friends - specially if it involves food. As an ambassador, I'm super excited to engage in meaningful discussions about "Crying in H Mart" and explore its impact on culture and identity with the Northwestern community.

Mia completed the Undergraduate Research Assistant Program and is a member of the Women in Business club.
