- 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.

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.

- What was your favorite class and why?:
My favorite class that I’ve taken so far at Rutgers has been Neurobiology of Pain and Addiction (01:146:465). In a previous class, the circuitry behind pain and addiction was mentioned briefly but really interested me, so I loved being able to learn the specifics behind both these processes. Additionally, as someone who wants to pursue a career in medicine, I feel that the class was very insightful and important for the future.
- What other Rutgers activities and extracurricular activities do you participate in?:
At Rutgers, I participate in the Minority Association of Pre-health Students (M.A.P.S) and the United Black Council (UBC). I am the current treasurer for M.A.P.S., and have had to work closely with UBC as a UBC representative for M.A.P.S.. Although not currently, I’ve been a peer tutor with Rutgers’ Learning Centers, and I’d like to fulfill that position again sometime this school year! Outside of Rutgers, I currently volunteer at RWJ University Hospital. When I’m not involved in these activities, I like to read, run, and crochet.

- What was your favorite class and why?:
Thus far at Rutgers, my favorite class that I took has to be General Physics 2. By learning basic circuits, you can have an idea as to how the lamp in your living room turns on and off through a flick of a light switch. The discovery of alternating current (AC) has transcended society in many ways, aiding in the creation of technology such as MRI scanners, X-ray machines, dishwashers, and even hair dryers. Widely regarded as a tough subject, the applicability in everyday life is incomparable.
