Fun Fact
My dream job is to work in the media/advertising/visual communications department of the UNICEF. I've done tons of volunteer work and there's nothing more fulfilling for me than being a helping hand! I also enjoy photography, fashion design, and playing guitar.

Favorite NYIT Experience
Freshmen year at the residence halls. I was lucky enough to get amazing suitemates… It was like the United Nations! We were from India, Spain, America, Vietnam, and Venezuela. Now, we are all working as resident assistants as part of the NYIT Housing and Residential Life Staff. It's amazing to be able to work with your close friends.

Why I chose NYIT
I wanted to pursue a bachelor's degree abroad and New York sounded quite appealing. Being away from home wasn't an issue; I love to explore new places. I loved the fact that it had a large percentage of international students and other campuses across the globe. I also thought New York was the perfect place to start networking, especially in the tough and competitive field of advertising.
