On choosing Stony Brook:
I grew up in Wading River, NY which is on the east end of Long Island.
I transferred to Stony Brook Spring of 2018!
On her time at SBU:
During my time here at Stony Brook, I met such influential people and had a great
experience academically.
On her favorite SBU memory:
My favorite part of my studies at SBU was studying abroad in Italy during the Summer
2019! I was able to travel all over the country and meet my best friends.
On her favorite professor:
While at the actual SBU campus, Professor Hiemstra was the most influential teacher

is awaiting approval by the University called S.A.F.E.!

After graduating, I intend on applying to the School of Social Welfare in hopes to
become a social worker. I am so excited to graduate and make a real change in the
world!
