  • What was your favorite class and why?:

    My favorite class this year has to be Personality Psychology. It's greatly helped me reflect on myself and recognize possible reasons for my behavioral patterns. I found the class to be applicable to so many real-life scenarios especially with my younger brothers so I would highly recommend it to others. 

  • What other Rutgers activities and extracurricular activities do you participate in?:

    I'm a Calculus 135 LA Assistant where I support and motivate students to achieve academic success in the classroom. In the upcoming semester I'll be helping mentor new LA's to ensure they are prepared to support. I'm also on the E-Board for the Association of Undergraduate Geneticists (AUG) and recently created Genetic Counseling Interest Club (GCIC), where we hope to share information and encourage students to look into a not as popularly known medical profession.
