Hometown:
Poughkeepsie, NY
Graduation year:
2013
Major/Minor & Why:
Criminal Justice with a concentration in International Affairs and a Political Science minor. I hope to work for a government agency and I believe my major and minor will help me get there!
What else are you involved with on campus:
I’m currently the President of P.O.W.E.R and I’m also a member of B.O.N.D. I also hope to be inducted into the Sigma Alpha Pi honor society at the end of the academic year.
What does POWER stand for? What is its “mission statement”? Who can be involved?
POWER stands for Pride in Our Work, Ethnicity and Race. The mission statement includes promoting P.R.I.D.E (People Respecting Individual Differences and Ethnicity), bringing a better understanding and heighten the awareness of racially and culturally different students to Le Moyne College and the community and fulfilling some of the social, educational, and political needs of the racially and culturally different students on campus. Anyone can be involved in POWER!
What do you like about P.O.W.E.R?
I love that POWER allows us all to come together and be proud of who we are. It’s such a friendly environment.
What has been the club’s greatest improvement from the time you were a freshman until now?
I believe that there has been a significant increase in membership and I’m very proud of that.
Why is being a part of the club important to you?
It’s important to me because I value anything that allows us to embrace who we are, to be proud of who we are, and share our differences and POWER does that.
What do you hope to do after Le Moyne? How will POWER help you in your future, if it will?
After I graduate I hope to work for the Department of Homeland Security working in counterterrorism. I believe P.OW.E.R has strengthened my leadership abilities and further taught me how to work with others which will be very helpful in my career.
When is the next POWER event coming up? Give details!
The next POWER event is our annual Cultural Extravaganza on Feb. 25, 2012. It’s a student showcase where students can show their talents. We also invite POWER alumni back. This year we hope to get participation from other student organizations. It’s a fun event and everyone should come!
What’s a quote/motto you live by?
I love the quote Will Smith tells his son in the Pursuit of Happyness. “Don’t ever let someone tell you, you can’t do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can’t. You want something? Got get it. Period.”
If you could be any animal what would it be and why?
A kangaroo. I just think they’re cool!

Celebrity crush?
