What is your motivation to succeed?

My motivation to succeed is my son, Atreyu, and my dog, Ruby Rose. I want to provide a nice, comfortable life for them.

Tell us something most people don’t know about you.

Most people do not know I love photography, and if I were to be rich and not have to worry about money, I would want to travel and photograph nature.

What are your long-term goals?

My long-term goal would be to become a school counselor and help kids. I would also like to help my father with his business.

What does EOP/MAP mean to you?

EOP means opportunity. For me, I never thought I would be able to succeed and make it this far, but with EOP I was able not only to succeed but also build connections and relationships with wonderful people.

What’s your most invaluable experience at Purchase?

My most invaluable experience is meeting and forming close connections with one of my professors and a couple of classmates. They have made this college experience as an older student a wonderful chapter in my life.
