I came to University of Bridgeport with a mission to be the first college graduate in my family. No matter the challenges that I have faced over these past four years, I will always thank UB for giving me the best college experience that I could’ve asked for. I joined the Student Programming Board, became President of the Gender Sexuality Awareness Club, Captain of United We Step, as well as a student worker in the Center for Student Involvement, and a member of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council. All of my UB student experiences have made me the successful leader that I am today.
