Why did you come to Buffalo State: I knew that I wanted to go to a college that was located in a city. I am from NYC and I could never imagine myself anywhere but a city. Also, Buffalo State was large enough for me to have the true college experience yet it is also small enough for me to make close friends. 

How did it feel to be crowned Homecoming Queen: Initially I was shocked, there was so many beautiful and talented girls that I had no idea what to expect. After the shock died down I was really excited and happy!   

If you were actually Queen of the United States, what is one thing you would change: I would make college tuition free. I met a foreign exchange student that told be how much cheaper college is in England. She told me college is only for three years there and that if your loans are less that $20,000, you don’t have to pay a dime back. Students slave in school to get an education so that we can have a job to pay off our debt from it. I feel that has to be a better way.
