Hello! My name is Eden and I'm a sophmore on the pre-med track at Penn. I'm originally from New York City, so I love to explore all that Philly has to offer. I'm almost always in the library studying and getting work done. Over the past year I've really been able to call Penn my home away from home, and I'd love to show you my favorite spots on campus while letting you in the college life!

Describe your college experience

My college experience has been great! I found an amazing community, got out of my comfort zone, and tried so many new things while being here at Penn.

Tip for future students

My best advice would be to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. You really discover your true potential, and maybe future career path, by trying new things and putting yourself out there!

Favorite class

My favorite class was definitely my intermediate Portuguese class. The small class size and personalized instruction really helped me apperciate the language and the cultures of the lusofonic world.

Career goals

I plan to pursue a Masters in Public Health and later become a family medicine doctor.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal night is hanging out with friends watching a movie, going for a stroll on campus, and eating at our favorite dining halls.

High school or secondary school

York Preparatory School

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite spots on campus are the Fisher Fine Arts Library, the Perelman Center, and the Graduate School of Education. These spots are perfect for studying and being more productive!
