"I joined HRMA as a freshman looking for direction, but I stayed because of everything I found along the way. Starting as a mentee, little, and intern and eventually growing into roles like mentor, big, and board member, each experience helped shape both my personal and professional journey.

 

What’s kept me here is the genuine sense of community—one where peers uplift each other, professionals share invaluable insights, and every opportunity encourages growth. HRMA has been a constant source of support, learning, and connection, and I’m grateful to now be in a position where I can give back to the organization that’s given me so much."

"I stumbled into my first HRMA meeting: that night, we did a “speed dating” activity, and I remember talking to 15+ members in under an hour — honestly, the most English I’d spoken in a single sitting. But more than the social whirlwind, it was the kindness, enthusiasm, and openness of everyone that left me feeling energized.

 

As I became more involved and connected with both board and general members, I saw how HRMA — and, more importantly, how something within myself — was shaping not just professional growth, but confident, thoughtful individuals. What kept me coming back was the genuine support, the positive energy, and the connections I was building with people who truly cared. It’s the kind of club you might join because a friend drags you to a meeting, but stay in because you feel seen, heard, and inspired. Now, I want to pay that experience forward and support HRMA community this upcoming year!"

When I finally had the chance, I immediately felt welcomed and knew I wanted to further be involved in the organization.

HRMA simply checked off both of these and allowed me to find tight-knitted passionate community that provides its members with resources and opportunities."
