Describe your college experience

My college experience at Rutgers has been really great so far! I've enjoyed meeting new people, experiencing new things, and becoming part of the Rutgers community.

Tip for future students

My biggest advice for future students is to get involved and put yourself out there even if you feel uncomfortable. Take advantage of everything Rutgers has to offer since it is such a big school, like clubs, activities, events, etc.

Favorite class

Nutrition is my favorite class I've taken so far because I enjoyed learning how the foods we eat affect our health and overall well-being. I also liked how I could apply what I learned in class to my everyday life.

Career goals

After college I hope to become a pediatric nurse.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night is hanging out with friends, whether that's getting dinner or watching a movie.

High school or secondary school

Woodbridge High School

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite place on campus is the Yard on College Avenue. It is always a very lively part of campus especially at night. It is always fun to walk there to grab food and spend time with friends.
