Favorite Quote The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.” – Winston Churchill
Who has been your biggest role model and why? My biggest role model is my mother because she came to this country an immigrant and college student. From scratch she made a stable life and even as a recent single mother her unconditional support for my sister and I is unwavering.
Why did you choose Chatham? I wanted a small school setting with strong academics. As a sustainability major, Chatham's Eden Hall Campus offered a unique opportunity to practice what we learn in a classroom outside in real time.
