What is your idea of success in 5 years?  Or in 20 years?
In 5 years, I want to be a successful medical school student. 
In 20 years, I want to be a successful pediatric oncologist.

Best Hofstra memory:
Move-in day my freshman year.  Meeting my new roommate was so much fun!

Favorite (short) Hofstra story:
I was selected to go to the 2012 Presidential Debate at Hofstra, but we weren’t notified until the morning of, so I had to shower and get ready in a half hour in order to be there in time for the security portion.  It was the fastest I have ever gotten ready for anything!

What do you take the most “Pride” in:
I take the most pride in what I am accomplishing here at Hofstra, being far from home, and my successes and future thanks to my education and experience.  I also take pride in being part of my own Hofstra “legacy” following in my mother’s footsteps (who is a ’91 alumni). 

What have you found as your “Purpose?”
I have found my purpose to be inspiring people to become the best possible version of themselves that they can be. Whether it is at the Hofstra Fitness Center inspiring other to get active, or in the classroom inspiring other to find their passions and do all they can do while they have all the opportunities to achieve here at Hofstra.
