Brady Gaither
Growing up in a lower middle class family, college was never on the radar for me. By the time I was twenty- years- old, I already had several occupations and several leadership roles at larger corporations. Around May 2016 I looked around and realized I had made it as far as I could make it without an education. I began researching schools and weighing my options. A month later I decided on the University of West Alabama. The region of West Alabama harbored everything I deemed necessary as a twenty-year- old: good fishing, prime hunting, and amazing people. I never thought those three attractions and one decision would set my life on a course that I am forever grateful for. During my time at UWA I was a part of several clubs and organizations. I also served as an Athletic Training student, Baptist Campus Ministries leader, Student Ambassador, and Sports Information’s Audio and Visual Student Director. Upon graduation I took a job that lead me to Mobile Al, and shortly after I ended up in North Carolina working in agriculture. I have since returned to the place I call home and am thankful to be a part of the UWA Admissions Staff. I am excited to share my experiences and insight with my students while helping them navigate the next four years and achieve their goals.
Have questions about UWA or want to talk through next steps? I’m here to help. Students and counselors are always welcome to call, text, or email me to start the conversation.
