Hometown: I was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, which I consider my hometown. However, I came to the United States when I was 7 years old and have lived in Manhattan, New York since.
Major/Minor: I am currently Undecided in the School of Engineering but I am in process of switching to the O’Malley School of Business. I personally felt engineering was not the right choice for me which is totally ok! I am confident that I am making the right decision.
MC Involvement: I am a tutor at the Center of Academic success as well as future Orientation Leader. I am also part of Fuerza Latina, Black Girl Magic, Sanctus Artem, Commuter Student Association, Women and Gender Resource Center, and participate in Intramural Sports, which include volleyball, basketball, and softball.
Why Did You Choose MC? Choosing a college was one of the hardest decisions for me. The one thing I was completely sure about was that I wanted to stay in the city and after visiting MC I fell in love with the campus. I loved the greenery and that it felt far away from the city. I also loved the vibes and the great people that attend here. I felt so welcomed.
Favorite Thing About MC: My favorite thing about MC is the staff. Even though it does require us as students to make the first step forward and know when to reach out for help, it is totally worth it. My advisors, my professors, my counselor, even my manager from CAS, regardless of who it is, I have someone to reach out to when I find myself stuck.
