UFC Athlete visits

Ormiston Horizon Academy recently welcomed a truly inspiring guest! UFC fighter, broadcaster, and commentator Veronica Hardy visited to speak with prospective Spanish students about the diverse career paths that can open up through language learning.

Veronica shared her unique journey, from her upbringing in Venezuela to her experiences living and working across the globe in countries like America, France, Holland, and Brazil. She highlighted how her Spanish language skills have been instrumental in her success as a UFC fighter and as a broadcaster/translator for Spanish TV channels.

Our students were captivated by Veronica’s stories and had the opportunity to engage with her directly through a Q&A session. This was a fantastic opportunity for them to see firsthand the real-world applications of language skills and the exciting possibilities they can lead to.
