Why higher education:

I have always wanted to experience college, especially in the United States. Campus is full of people from all over the world.  

 

Why SLCC:

It is more affordable than completing all four years at a university. SLCC also has smaller classrooms that promote bonding between students and facilitate communication with professors.  

 

What motivates you or inspires you at school and/or in life:

The exchange of ideas in the classroom setting has helped me identify my core drivers. Higher education puts you face to face with the question “Who Am I?”, and the process of answering that question is not easy. Exposure to new experiences works in guiding you along the path of self-discovery. College awakens the philosopher that inhabits everyone. Curiosity motivates me, and higher education is all about having questions.  

Important life and/or career lessons you have learned so far:

Not all questions can be answered, and that is not necessarily bad. It keeps the field moving.  

 

Best advice you have been given or that you give others:

To live in the present moment.  

 

Family:

I am an only child, and my family is pretty small. We have a strong Italian background, and my grandmother is an amazing cook!  

 

Hobbies:

Roller skating, photography, embroidery and hiking. I also love learning new languages and listening to music.
