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

Name: Kristie Lamburini

Major: Criminal Justice

Age: 20

Hometown: Flushing, Queens

Where is one place that everyone should go to in Queens? 

“That’s actually a tough question because Queens is so big. I recently went to the Queens Museum where they have a panorama model of all of New York City that was built for the World’s Fair in 1964. The museum is in Flushing Meadows Park, which was the grounds of the fair and home to the Unisphere, which I definitely consider to be an icon of Queens.”

 

What do you hope to accomplish before graduating Pace?

“Before graduating Pace, I would like to have a more concrete career path. As of right now, I know I would definitely like to work in an investigative capacity, however, I am not sure of the specifics or what agency I would like to work for. I aim to find more work in my field, whether it be part time or another internship, before graduation.”

Do you hope to add on a minor at some point before you graduate?

“I am thinking of declaring a minor in Sociology/Anthropology after this semester.”

 

What clubs are you affiliated with at Pace? 

“I am a member of the Criminal Justice Society at Pace.”

 

You had the opportunity to go to Italy last summer for a travel course through Pace. What was the most rewarding experience of that venture? 

“My experience traveling to Italy to study their Criminal Justice system was incredible; I’m so glad that I chose to participate in that program. At first, I was hesitant because I had never left the country and I didn’t know any of the other students who were going on the trip. However, I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and try something new; I always wanted to visit Italy and learn more about foreign criminal justice systems and culture. It turned out to be an amazing experience. I got to see the beautiful cities of Florence and Rome and experience all of the history and culture while learning more about my field of study. The trip also gave me the opportunity to meet new, incredible people, (including my boyfriend), with whom I became great friends and got to share a great experience with. The most rewarding part of this experience was being immersed into the culture so quickly. We stayed in a hostel in the heart of Florence where ten of us were in very close quarters, which allowed us to get to know each other well and experience the culture firsthand. For anyone contemplating taking a travel course, I would say go for it, you won’t regret the experience despite any concerns you may have about traveling.”




 

Any shows that you are currently obsessing over or binge watching right now? 

“Right now I’m watching Blue Bloods and Hawaii Five 0.”

 

You’re Italian and Italian’s are known for their food. What is your favorite Italian cuisine that you couldn’t live without? 

“My favorite Italian food is definitely pasta, which as most people know, I eat often.” 




Fun fact about yourself?

“I love dogs and I hope to adopt one from a shelter in the future.”  

 

Finally, what is the last song played on your Spotify, Pandora or Apple Music?

“Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.”

Hey guys, my name is Cas. I am a Senior at Pace Univeristy on the NYC campus. I am currently working on a dual degree in Communications and Fine Arts. I've been working with some friends of mine to start up our own creative platform called FUNKNVIBE. It's basically a way for artists, musicians, film makers and any creative minds to collaborate and create. When I'm not volunteering or with my FNV family I'm reading, dancing or working on my latest art piece. I hope to own and design my own publication showcasing the culture around me. I have a personal blog as well as my Her Campus page. I recently started up a blog with FunknVibe so definitely check it out!  I started out as the secretary at for HCPace but moved my way to VP and CC to now President. I love being able to give students on my campus a voice and connect new students to some type of a community. Her Campus has allowed me to organize myself better and find out what goes into running an organization. It's been an absolute joy and I hope for my last year we have one of the best!
