About

My passion towards my academics has aided me in all aspects of my life, inside and outside the classroom. I am a dedicated person by nature, a trait of mine that can be seen through my devotion towards my overall academic standing, my immersive clinical practice experience, as well as my involvement on Ramapo College's field hockey team. My experiences throughout my college career so far reflect the principles with which I conduct myself. I am committed to leaving a genuine impression on all I come in contact with. This drive has led me to the teaching profession where I can support and care for generations of students as they learn and grow alongside me. This drive has led me to my college's field hockey team where I can lead my teammates by example and build them up when they need it most. Finally, this drive has given me the strength to devote myself to my academics in the interest of paving my way for the best future I can afford.
