This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hofstra chapter.

Meet Alexandra! She is studying Economics with minors in International Affairs and European Studies in Business and is and RA and Pride Guide.

 

Name: Alexandra Goldstein

Year: 2016

Hometown: Originally from Pittsburgh, PA

Major/Minors: Economics major, minors in International Affairs and European Studies

 

What are you involved in on campus?

Involved as a Resident Assistant (Constitution Hall) and Pride Guide. Just finished an Internship at FXCM (one of the largest foreign exchange brokers in the world — branch in downtown Manhattan), and am participating in some departmental research now.

 

What made you decide to come to Hofstra?

This is always a question I hate to answer on tours, because I sort of arbitrarily chose Hof (I never visited or anything — I am a mess haha). However, I always like to say that I have stayed at Hofstra because of the location to the city, the small classes/individualized approach to education, and the multifaceted diversity on campus!

 

Describe yourself in 3 words.

July 17th Cancer. Can I do that? If not, gregarious, authentic, business-casual.

 

Dream Job?

Secretary-General of the United Nations. Or Lin-Manuel Miranda

Favorite Disney character?

Mary Poppins (that was my floor theme last semester)

 

Best class you’ve taken at Hofstra?

My international economics class (I’m sure that sounds riveting hahaha)! That, or Politics of the European Union

Favorite on-campus spot?

The cafe in the library is Hofstra’s hidden gem: the coffee there is some of the best on campus, there are no lines, and the barista ladies are so nice! I’m very much a morning person/caffeinator so I’m a big fan of anywhere on campus with decent coffee!

Most played song?

Like everyone on Earth, I am swooning over Hamilton. I was lucky enough to see it both in its off-Broadway run at the Public and on Broadway, and it changed my life — Alexander Hamilton is ME! That said, “Non-Stop”, is my most-frequently played song: it’s so audacious, much like myself haha!

I'm a senior Theatre Arts Production major at Hofstra University. I'm almost always at rehearsal, reading plays, seeing plays, blogging about plays, or fangirling over plays. My likes include giraffes, Britney Spears, American history and coffee.
