Program of Emphasis: Biology

Hometown: Jackson Heights, NY

High School: The Brooklyn Latin School

Why I chose to attend Juniata: I chose Juniata College because it felt right here, as soon as I stepped on this campus I fell in love. The campus is beautiful and the people are amazing. I also love the fact that the faculty is so supportive here.

Most Interesting Class: My most interesting class this year is CWS with Professor Wilkins. This was interesting because it was a completely different kind of class since he is a completely different kind of professor. He has a different teaching style compared to what I am used to. He tries his hardest to make sure that we are learning because he knows he can't force us to learn.

Favorite Faculty Member: Professor Wilkins has made a difference in my life. He is the person I go to if I need to talk to someone. He has helped me figure out what I want and what I need when it comes to my POE. He also has improved my writing style and the way I start any academic project.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the financial support; without the financial support I probably would not be attending this amazing school. It has meant a lot to me because the financial support was one of the reasons why my parents allowed me to attend this school. I wouldn't be happy at any other college. I have met some amazing people, especially during my Plexus Inbound.

Gratefully,
