Gab has her sight set on NYU’s art therapy graduate program, but for now she’s with us here at Marywood. Here’s a few things we found out about her!
Name: Gabriella Romero
Year: 2018
Major: Art Therapy
Hometown: Old Bridge, NJ (but originally from Brooklyn, NY)
Her Campus Marywood (HC): Why did you choose Marywood?
Gabriella Romero (GR): “I chose Marywood because of the community feel, the beautiful campus, and the amazing reviews on the art programs here.”
HC: What are you involved with on campus?
GR: “I’m the service chair for Alpha Sigma Psi sorority, which benefits underprivileged children.”
HC: What is your fondest moment of being at Marywood?
GR: “My fondest memory was the first night we were all moved in and my roommates and I sat on our floor and had the biggest heart to heart. From that moment, I knew that I made the right decision by moving into a quad because not only were these girls my roommates, but my best friends.”
HC: Naz? Or McGowan?
GR: “McGowan.”
HC: What’s your favorite thing to order?
GR: “Probably the turkey swiss cranberry mayo wrap… or a BLT.”
HC: If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be and why?
GR: “I would want to stop all the fighting and the wars. I think that world peace is a dream and not a reality. But I think that we, as a world and a whole, need to work together for a better future because the route that we’re going down now is very scary.”
HC: What is your dream job?
GR: “An art therapist – either in a pediatric oncology department or in a rehabilitation center for girls with eating disorders or children with PTSD.”
HC: Where do you see yourself in five years?
GR: “I see myself hopefully graduating from NYU’s art therapy graduate program and hopefully finding a job right away because I want to be able to support myself so that I can travel the world.”
HC: Cats or dogs?
GR: “Dogs. Weiner dogs.”
HC: Do you have any siblings?
GR: “Yes, one younger brother Alex, who’s 15 and my bff.”
HC: Favorite hobby? Why?
GR: “My favorite hobby would have to be anything outdoors – even if it’s just sitting outside or swimming or hiking.”
