American Healthcare with Professor Stuart Altman has so far been the best class I have taken so far. I learned so much about the healthcare system, which shifted my health perspective. It sparked my interest in the social determinants of health and advocating for change in low-income communities involving health disparities and inequality, leading to my additional major in Health: Science, Society, and Policy.
Becoming a Student Admissions Ambassador! I love working at Admissions and meeting prospective students and families to help them with their college decision. It is an honor to work at the front desk and give tours!
Kindness day! I love being able to brighten someone's day and remind them how special and worthy they are.
As a low-income, first-generation college student the entire college process was extremely overwhelming and difficult. I knew I wanted to come to an institution that was diverse in all aspects, but also to be apart of a community with other students who have gone through similar experiences/situations as me. I discovered the Myra Kraft Transitional Year Program and knew it was the best fit for me. I wanted to be apart of a cohort and have extra support resources with peers/mentors who have the same admiration and desire in higher education despite their life adversities.
