Which of your activities is most rewarding and why?
My community relations internship with the Syracuse Crunch is super rewarding. I work a lot with kids from the Syracuse community and it is so amazing to see how the work I do makes them so happy. Whether they get to win a prize on the Crunch Prize Wheel or they get to come to a Crunch game for free through our community ticket program, the looks on their faces are what reassure me that the hard work is worth it. I have always loved working with kids, so that kind of interaction with kids in the Syracuse community is extremely fulfilling.
Favorite place on campus:
For food: Blinker Deli (you can’t beat the sour cream and onion bagels there)
In general: The Quad (it’s so pretty and green and when the weather is nice I could sit there for hours)
Favorite place to study: Either in my room in my apartment or the basement of Bird
Library in those quiet cubbies.
Favorite thing about ‘Cuse: The atmosphere in the student section at basketball games in the Dome. Words can’t describe the energy level. And I’m obsessed with anything sport-related so it’s the best thing ever.
Least favorite thing about ‘Cuse: I have always wished Syracuse was a teeny bit closer to Boston because Boston is my favorite place in the entire world. Five hours is a long drive just to spend the weekend in Boston so the one thing I’d change about Syracuse would be to move it about three hours east of here.
Dream job: President of the Boston Red Sox Charitable Foundation
Role Models: My mom and grandmothers have always been an inspiration to me.
They are all such hard-working women and instilled a lot of great values in me when
I was younger. They are always super supportive of everything that I do and it makes the rough spots in life so much easier to know that women like them are proud of me regardless of what does or doesn’t work out.
Activities: Vice President of the Women In Sports and Events group on campus (WISE-SU). Member of the Sport Management Club. Member of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority. Community Relations intern at the Syracuse Crunch. Cashier at CVS.Â
