What is your motivation to succeed?

My motivation to succeed comes from being the oldest to all seven of my siblings. I want to be a role model for them and make life easier for them as they get older.

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

Most people don’t know that I once got hit by a bat on my face, specifically on my left side, while playing a baseball game.

What are your long-term goals?

I want to be financially stable as best as I can be, get a job that has to do with sports, and own a loft style home.

What does EOP/MAP mean to you?

EOP means community and hope to me. Everyone here believes in each other and is always willing to help whether it’s the advisors or students.

What’s your most invaluable experience at Purchase?

The friends I’ve made along the way. Friends that I will grow old with and also be the cool uncle to their children.
