Name: Firdous Khezrian (she/her)
Hometown: Seattle, WA

Graduation Year: May 2025
Major and Why I Chose It: Corporate Communication
I chose my major because I understand how fundamental communication is - especially within the context of business. As a student on the pre-law track, I am fascinated by the ways in which disagreements and challenges in our personal and professional life are a reflection of a breakdown in communication.

  • Traffic Director for 91.7 KVRX-FM

Favorite Place in Austin: My favorite place in Austin is the Voice Lab on the 4th floor of the CMA! I have been working in audio journalism for three years now and have so many wonderful memories in the studio. It is truly my safe space.
 
Where to Travel: I would love to travel to Mexico City!
