Favorite flavor ice cream: Mint Chocolate Chip

Interesting thing about you: I was originally from Staten Island, NY.

Favorite spot on campus: By the creek

Why did you choose your major? I chose my major because I went through two ACL surgeries and loved physical therapy when I went.

Why did you decide on Keystone College? I was first recruited for basketball but when I visited I fell in love with the campus and the atmosphere.

What do you like most about Keystone? I like how friendly everyone on campus is.

Favorite member of the Keystone Family: Fellow student, Mike Kubus.

My favorite class: Chemistry classes

Give one thing you were surprised to discover at Keystone College: I was surprised to find that I was just not a number at Keystone College. All faculty and staff truly see you as an individual.

Advice for future students: College is going to be the time of your life. Just be able to stay focused on your academics. Everything else will be secondary.

In my spare time: I like to hang out with my friends and just enjoy the stress free moments we spend together.

Future Goals/Plans: I plan to become a Physical Therapist and open up my own athlete based clinic.

How do you feel KC has, or will, help you in attaining these goals? Keystone College will always help a student succeed. If a student follows through with the Keystone Promise and they do not get a job, they will be able to continue the classes needed for free. That could be really helpful, especially when most college students do not receive a job right out of college.
