Name: Victoria PieringHometown: Lindenhurst, NYMajor: Communication Arts with a concentration in Creative MediaOn Campus Involvement: ResLife, HerCampusPast Internships/Jobs: I’ve done some stuff for MSG Varsity, I’m an RA, Some camera work for Camera By Her Side, I babysit, and I run SunsetSpotlights!Best memory at MMC: oh gosh, there are so many.  I’ve been able to do a lot of really cool things since living in NYC, (concerts, free broadway shows, meeting a bunch of celebs!) but school related, I would have to say either whenever the RA staff gets together (like open houses, etc) or Edrex’s web workshop class.Fav Class You’ve Taken: That’s definitely a toss up between Video Workshop with Alister Sanderson, Documentary Film Production with Dan Hunt, and American Sign Language with Deanna Twain.Advice for freshman: Step out of your comfort zone. It’s so important to try new things, you’ll grow as a person and learn a lot about yourself. Also, stay positive!
