What made you decide to come to Hofstra?
My dad and my sister went to Hofstra, and they absolutely loved it, so I had to continue the family tradition!
What’s your favorite TV show?
Scandal
Where do you see yourself after graduation?
I see myself as an accountant, working my way up to owning my own firm after I take my CPA exam.
How do you handle the stress of the BBA/MS program?
When I get overwhelmed, I bake something. It makes me feel better and takes my mind off things and helps me start fresh when I’m done.
What is one fact everyone should know about you?
I love my dogs more than anything, and they are literally my daughters.
What is your best piece of advice for freshman who want to follow your path?
Go into college with an open mind, and don’t let people convince [you] to change [your] major. Every time I tell people that I study accounting, they sarcastically say good luck and tell me it’s a hard and impossible major, but I’m happy I never listened to them. It is hard, but it’ll be worth it.
