Hometown?

Bronx, NY

What's an interesting/fun fact about yourself?

I love interior designing and making everyone around me laugh and smile.

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

I would travel to the 70s and dance on the Soul Train!

What's your favorite thing about New York Tech?

New York Tech is different from other institutions because it truly prepares students to work in their chosen field. Most universities spend the first two years on general electives. New York Tech provides students with four years of education in their area of concentration.

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

Attend both Open Houses to see which campus would be the best fit.

Do you have any pets you want to brag about?

I have a Maltipoo named Jacob. He is feisty, stubborn and extremely intelligent. I couldn't imagine not having him in my life!

Favorite movie?

My top 5 movies are White Chicks, The Wood, The Best Man, Twilight and The Incredibles.

Favorite TV show?

If I had to chose, my favorite show would be Vampire Diaries.

Favorite book?

Gangsta. I came across the book in 8th grade and continue to re-read it every few years. The depth of the characters and their storylines, display the struggles individuals of color face growing up in areas of poverty. And what decisions many boys in these communities make in order to survive.
