- What was your favorite class and why?:
My favorite class is health psychology. It evaluates how stress and other psychological factors affect people's well-being and approach to taking care of themselves. I think it is a helpful class for anyone who wants to work in a healthcare related field because of its insight into people's relationships with medical professionals and vice versa. I loved this class because I found the topics to be really interesting and it impacted my own habits and choices regarding health.
- What other Rutgers activities and extracurricular activities do you participate in?:
I am currently the treasurer of the Genetic Counseling Interest Club. I’m also an intern at a lab studying a rare genetic disorder. Outside of Rutgers, I am a paraprofessional and I've recently started volunteering at the Crisis Text Line.
