Name: Jesse G. Latorraca  

Hometown: Stamford, CT

Major/Minor: Forensic Science, Biology concentration

Year: Senior

Relationship Status: Single & ready to mingle. My dream girl has to have a beautiful smile and slightly shorter then me; she’s got to understand me and, more importantly, she’s got to understand my family.

Favorite Eatery on Campus: Sushi X down the street

As of now, what is your favorite class?: It’s a toss up between Forensic Pathology and Anatomy. But if I had to choose it would be Forensic Pathology.

What has been your favorite thing about UNH?: The friends I’ve made is definitely my favorite.

 

Hobbies/Talents: Well I’m secretly a theater geek. I use to do a lot of theater in middle school and high school. But with my school schedule I settle for attending performances and I jump at the opportunity to be on stage with friends. I love playing baseball/softball. I play first player games on my PS4. I like to go go-karting over break with my friends. My by far favorite thing to do is cook! I learned too cook from my family and from my time working as a chef at a restaurant back home.

Dream Job: Ok please don’t get freaked out here but after I graduate I’m going to mortician school. I would one day like to own my own funeral home.

Future Plans: Um I don’t like to plan too much I really enjoy going with the flow. But as along as I have my family and friends around me I’ll be happy with that future.

Fun Fact About You: I like baking just as much as I like to cook. I have 3 brothers at home, no sisters. I have a boxer named Champ he’s kind of an ass. I did an internship this summer at Zotos International in their research and development labs. I did testing on their hair products, hair treatments, shampoos and conditioners.  I also love to travel.
