What's an interesting/fun fact about yourself?

I enjoy all genre of reggae music from dancehall, roots reggae, ska, rock-steady, and more.

If you could time travel, what year (past or future) would you go to and why?

Definitely to the future, lets say 2120! It would be super cool to see what my great great great grandchildren look like and what ingenious advances were made that we can't even possibly conceive now.

What's your favorite thing about New York Tech?

Watching the change in season on the Long Island campus is picturesque. The scenery makes taking nature walks on campus refreshing and revitalizing.

What's your best advice to students considering/applying to New York Tech?

Be sure to study something that you really have a passion for. It may be what you end up doing for your lifelong career.

Do you have any pets you want to brag about?

My kids recently picked up an abandon kitten (Jupiter) on the side of the road. I have no clue how we lived without his warmth prior. He is in charge now and we all know it!

Favorite movie?

Planet of the Apes, and all of the sequels

Favorite TV show?

Downtown Abbey. A big fan of British period drama.

Favorite book?

Pride & Prejudice, Jane Austen
