I graduated from Rutgers University with a BA in cell biology and neuroscience. Upon graduating I immediately enrolled in NYCPM as a member of the 2017 class and am currently serving as treasurer for ACE, class representative for HAPSA and student ambassador. I grew up and still live in northern New Jersey and love iced tea and bendy straws. :)
