Why did you join USG?
I joined USG because it is the perfect avenue to be an advocate for positive change at Fordham University. USG allows students to leave a meaningful impact on Fordham even after graduating. I love being a part of the communication between Fordham students and the administration, and creating solutions to any public concerns that are brought up by the student body. I also joined because USG allows students to foster amazing connections with each other, while practicing professionalism and empowering others to use their voice.
What are you hoping to accomplish this year?
As the VP of Fordham College, I hope to create lasting changes that improve student experience at Rose Hill. Being the chair of FCRH Dean’s Council, I have the opportunity to guide the students on the council as they work to create initiatives and plan events for the students of Rose Hill. One of my main goals is to improve communication between the Dean’s Office and the students, by planning events like town halls, and office hours with the Deans.
What is your hometown?

What has been your favorite class at Fordham so far?
My favorite class at Fordham is a class I am taking right now, Anatomy. I love learning about the human body!
What is your favorite thing about Fordham?
My favorite thing about Fordham is the proximity to so many different opportunities and fun activities. Fordham Rose Hill is a beautiful campus with lots of nature and greenery, but midtown Manhattan is a 20 minute train ride away! The Botanical Gardens, the Bronx Zoo, and many amazing delis and restaurants are right outside of campus as well. I love all of the different options students have to explore and learn!
