Born in India and raised in American Samoa, Ambika grew up celebrating/respecting Indian, Samoan, and other Asian cultures and traditions. Ambika has had to travel internationally many times and to this day, enjoys international travel whenever she gets the chance because it opens her eyes to a bigger world outside of home. Ambika went to Montana State University – Bozeman for undergrad, where she found opportunities for involvement and leadership through the Associated Students of Montana State University (ASMSU) Senate and the Office of Student Engagement. Ambika was an ASMSU Student Senator for three terms, Senate Speaker Pro-Tempore for two terms, and Club Funding Assistant for two years.

Northeastern Montana raised; it was a natural step for Paytyn to earn her education from Montana State University. After studying agricultural education, English writing, and political science, she wanted to continue learning about the out-of-classroom tools provided at Universities. Paytyn is continuing her education at MSU in Adult and Higher Education. Working with Erin and Chris, Paytyn is excited to learn all she can about student engagement and the power of building leadership opportunities and community for undergraduate students. She will (hopefully) earn her degree in the spring, so if you're hiring, let her know! Outside of work and school, Paytyn enjoys trying new things through cooking, or traveling. She's not one to turn down a board game or a good book!
