Hi! I’m Breeana, a second-year nursing student at Hofstra. I’m super outgoing and love meeting new people, trying new things, and exploring New York. I’ve been dancing for most of my life, and when I’m not studying, you can usually find me with friends, looking for good food, or discovering a new spot!

Describe your college experience

At first, I was scared going into college because I had never been on such a big campus before, but as soon as orientation came around, I found a friend group right away and they have become the bestest friends, especially the ones in my major! The teachers are super helpful and ready to help you wherever they can, even when you don't expect them to!

Tip for future students

Don't be scared to start college because realistically everyone is coming there to do their own thing. You're more aware of what you're doing than what you think others are aware of. Be yourself, study hard, and do your best!

Favorite class

I personally loved Nursing Seminar because I got to meet the people I will most likely work with in the future while understanding the role and importance in the career I chose.

Career goals

After college, I will be a RN, and work 2 years in a Northwell Hospital, after those 2 years, I am going to school to get my doctorate and my certification to be a CRNA through Hofstra.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I love to spend a free night with friends, especially out in the city!

High school or secondary school

Archbishop Molloy High School

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite place on campus is the pride den, it's like the perfect mix of quiet and chaos. There's plenty of people to keep you entertained but also spaces where you can just sit down, and relax and do work.
