My name is Gisselle Peña but I go by Gigi. I joined Walker’s in 2023 as a sophomore and I’m now a senior! Being a Cicerone is very important to be because I get to help show perspective students and family around the beautiful campus that many people here call home.


What is your favorite class and why?

My favorite class this year is acting because its something new to me and helps me get out of my comfort zone! It’s also a very fun class and very hands on and interacting.

What advice would you give to an incoming Walker’s student?

Be yourself and try new things! You never know what you’ll end up enjoying or who you’ll meet along the way. Get involved with new sports and clubs—it’s a great way to be part of the community.

What do you think is the biggest benefit of attending school at Walker’s?

The biggest benefit at attending Walker’s is the college counseling. “It has helped me throughout my college process and made the journey so much easier. The college process can be very stressful, and having this resource has helped me get through it without too much stress or anxiety!
