FCB Ambassadors

Hello! My name is Khaliah Gates and I am a Senior majoring in accountancy at The W. A. Franke College of Business. I chose to attend Northern Arizona University because of the amazing opportunities and resources the FCB offers to its students.

In addition to being an FCB ambassador, I am also a part of the Honors College here at NAU as well as the Business Leadership Program. In my free time, I enjoy weight lifting, traveling to new places, taking pictures and leading meetings for my club, The Ladies of T.R.U.T.H.

This is my fourth year as an FCB ambassador and I am excited to share my knowledge. I look forward to helping students on their road to success within The W. A. Franke College of Business by being a mentor and a resource. Throughout my time here I have learned a lot so feel free to visit me during my office hours so we can chat. I look forward to meeting you.

Hey there! My name is Lisa Tafoya. I am currently a junior majoring in Business Management, minoring in Spanish, and pursuing a certificate in Human Resource Management. I graduated high school in Safford, Arizona, where I spent most of my life, but I’ve lived all over Arizona and even spent a year in Indiana. I chose NAU because I loved the environment when I toured and knew I could thrive here.

Not only am I an FCB Ambassador, but I am president of Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity, secretary of the Dean’s Leadership Council, a founding member of the Society of Human Resource Management chapter here, and a member of Future Business Women of America.

This is my first year as an FCB Ambassador, and I couldn’t be more excited to give back to the college that has given me so much these last two years. Always feel free to reach out to me or visit me in my office hours if you need any help or want to get more involved.

Hi! My name is Anya Videan, and I am currently a sophomore majoring in marketing. I was born and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona. One of the reasons I chose Northern Arizona University is because the W. A. Franke College of Business has so many wonderful resources for NAU students. I am proud to be representing FCB as an Ambassador this year and look forward to assisting current and future Lumberjacks navigate the many opportunities here.

I have been spending time in and around Flagstaff since I was young. I still enjoy exploring the beauty of the many National Parks here that offer some of the most amazing scenery and are so great for hiking, biking, and photography.

I especially love getting involved in NAU activities like concerts, movies, and guest speakers. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and be more involved with both the faculty and my peers at FCB and especially excited to share this knowledge with new students.

Hello, my name is Milca and I am currently a senior double majoring in Management and Spanish at the W. A. Franke College of Business and the College of Arts and Letters. I am also a Campus Recruiter intern for Northwestern Mutual and find my passion in helping individuals discover theirs. I am originally from Mexico City, and I have lived in five other states other than Arizona. In my free time I enjoy playing basketball, playing musical instruments, and dancing!

I chose to become an FCB Ambassador to not only be a resource to the students, but to inspire them as well. My favorite role as an Ambassador is attending and assisting students during Pathways. I enjoy seeing students being involved in the discussions in their specific field. This is my second year as an ambassador and I am still thankful for being part of such a great team. Feel free to contact me and visit during my office hours.

Hello, my name is Gabriel (Gabe) Breakstone, and I am currently a Sophomore majoring in Hotel and Restaurant Management. I am originally from Los Angeles, California but grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona. NAU was my first choice for school because I knew I wanted to remain in-state. However, I wanted a different environment than in the valley. The natural beauty here at NAU, coupled with a more individualistic experience sold me.

Although I am a sophomore, I have extensive professional experience as an entrepreneur working in the marketing and public relations fields with a multitude of different industries.

Outside of being an FCB Ambassador, I am very passionate about staying involved with the Jewish community both here, and at home, and enjoy being outdoors, flying, and cooking. Additionally, I serve as a member of the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office – Search and Rescue Unit.

Being a freshman ambassador last year granted me special insight on how things go as a first-year student. I look forward to being able to assist students on their FCB journey. I would love to meet you and chat during my office hours. Feel free to reach out via our FCB Ambassador email

Greetings! My name is Victor-Ernesto Gallego-Leon and I am a Senior majoring in finance, on the path to also receive a certificate in investments. I was born and raised in Tucson, AZ for the most part of my life, and I graduated from Tucson High Magnet School. I also spent most of my teenage years in Chicago, before returning to Tucson.

I chose to come to the W .A. Franke College of Business for the friendly environment and the support I see from the professors to help students out, because sometimes life happens and you’re not always able to give 100% effort. The FCB also helped me get more involved and give back to the community of Flagstaff. Aside from being an Ambassador for the FCB, I’m also the VP of Internal Outreach for DECA and the Social Chair for Delta Sigma Pi, all of which have helped me with my professional life, and definitely time management.

I am always happy to help a student out with anything school related or a question about campus life in general. Feel free to come by the office Monday through Thursday from 9am – 4pm or Friday 9am – 3pm.
