About

After finishing my first semester at community college, I could not be more thankful for the path I decided to take. Going to community college taught me more about myself and the career path I want to take. I enjoyed being able to commute to school because I still had the luxury of living at home. Bergen Community became a good fit for myself because I got to focus at home while having time to work on the weekends.

Goals and interests

Career goal

After receiving an Associates Degree from Bergen Community College, I plan to transfer to a 4 year university. Though my major is undecided, I hope to work for the government, more specifically law enforcement. I currently have 2 jobs. I work as an ice cream server at Coldstone Creamery and as a phone girl/waitress at Anthony Francos. I am excited to see where my career takes me once I declare a major.

Outside the classroom

Some of my hobbies include going to the gym, working, hanging out with friends, going to the beach and exploring new restaurants. Going to gym is great because it's a good time to have time to myself while getting exercise at the same time. Working is another hobby of mine because the paycheck is rewarding. Being able to have my own money is a sign of maturity in my eyes. Hanging out with friends and going to the beach is also some of my favorite hobbies. Spending time with the people I love at my favorite place is great. Whenever I am not at the gym or spending time with friends and family, you can find me exploring a new restaurant. I am a total foodie and am also up to trying something new.
