Let’s Meet Cecilia Arvelo!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Millersville chapter.

Last week I was given the opportunity to get to know Cecilia. Even though we’ve been in Her Campus together for a little while now, I didn’t know her that well. Through the interviewing process, I found out that we had a lot in common and it was so nice to get to know her better! Here are my questions and her answers:

How did you find out about Her Campus? What encouraged you to join?

I found out about Her Campus through Org Outbreak. I wanted to join Her Campus so I could be in a girl’s group that wasn’t a sorority.

What is your zodiac sign?

I’m a Taurus.

Do you have a favorite band or song?

My current favorite group is Dan + Shay. I’m not sure how to explain their music style…. Like, pop-ballad? It’s very acoustic-y and slow….. Their Spotify says “country”.

Do you have a favorite book?

My favorite book is called Beautiful Disaster.

How about your favorite movie?

I really like Hercules. The Disney version.

What is your major? Do you have a minor?

My major is secondary education with a concentration in social studies and my minor is international studies.

What are your goals post-graduation?

I would like a good teaching job. Ideally, I would like to teach middle school, like 8th grade. If not 8th grade then maybe 11th or 12th.

Are you involved in any other campus organizations?

I’m in PCSS which is the Pennsylvania Council for Social Studies. I also want to try to do the Color of Teaching [a mentoring program aimed at supporting middle school and high school students in their secondary school studies as well as encouraging them to consider careers in education] next semester or next year.

What do you like to do for fun? Do you have any hobbies?

I’m so busy right now, I don’t even know… When I have time I enjoy painting a little bit. I also like to try new things, get out, and explore.

Who is your favorite professor on campus?

Dr. Mrs. Bookmiller. There’s two Dr. Bookmillers, so she’s the Mrs. She teachers global politics, global disasters, etc. She influenced me when picking my minor.

It was a pleasure getting to know Cecilia! Keep an eye out for all of her awesome articles here!

HCXO, Sam
