Describe your central passion(s) and how you hope to carry that into your post-grad plans:
My primary passion is to help others, whether it’s through personal interactions or with all their technological needs. No matter how small the issue is, I hope to continue being someone who people feel comfortable talking to and creating a positive connection.
What (or who) helped inspire your passion in this area (or areas)?
My mom was the biggest inspiration for this passion. She was the first person to introduce me to the IT world and was always someone that people would go to for anything as little as a smile. My primary personal goal every day is to follow the morals she followed on a daily basis.
Briefly tell us the story of one stand-out memory from your time at Flagler that will always make you smile:
My favorite memory from my time at Flagler is hanging out with my friends and watching the Harry Potter movies in Ponce. There’s just something about the environment around us that just made everything amazing!
What academic resources, experiences, or mentors proved most valuable throughout your Flagler experience?
There are many things that I can deem valuable throughout my Flagler experience but to name a few and to name some mentors that I couldn’t have made it through without are Philadelphia Zimmermann, Jenna Stickley, Dr. Kurt Sebastian, Dr. Haiyan Huang, Dr. Jeremy Wang, Will Jackson, and Summer Hoppenworth. All these amazing people have contributed to my success at the school as well as my success after graduation. The close bonds and mentorship I have had with them will be something I will always cherish.
What is one piece of advice or lesson you learned about the college experience that you wish you could tell your freshman year self?
Never pass up an opportunity and enjoy every second. As cliché as it sounds, these four years really do fly by, so cherish every moment and relationship that you can make while you’re here.
Tell us about what you’re up to next! Any cool experiences, professional positions, or unique opportunities you have lined up after graduation?
I am so excited to say that I have signed on with FIS, Fidelity Information Services, as a Security Analysts. I love their environment as it reminds me of a lot of the values that Flagler holds close to them.
