What have you been involved in at Arcadia University outside of your classes?

I have been a member of BAS, Latin Society, Astronomy Club, AIMS, and I’ve served as SGO President, SGO Secretary, and SGO Senator. I’ve also worked as an Orientation Leader and Student Experience Leader, and I was formerly part of the SAJE Fellowship and served as Co-Chair of SAJE Power Conversations, among other leadership roles and involvements.

What is your proudest accomplishment to date?

Making the Dean’s List, serving as SGO President, building lifelong friendships, co-founding a nonprofit called the Aiding In Diversity Foundation—which is dedicated to supporting underrepresented students and educational programs in higher education—and being part of meaningful institutional change at Arcadia, including student representation on the Board of Trustees and event planning like the Clean Cuts Pop-Up Shop that offered free haircuts to students.

What is a challenge you’ve had to overcome to get to this point?

I lost many family members throughout my time at Arcadia, including two grandparents, while also discovering the professional and personal path I want to pursue. At the same time, I’ve navigated being Afro-Latino in a space that sometimes felt unfamiliar, and worked to overcome feelings of imposter syndrome while growing into confidence in who I am.

What has been your favorite memory at Arcadia?

Late Knight Breakfast with my friends—my “family dinner”—is one of my favorite memories, along with looking ahead to graduation on May 15, 2026.

What are some things you’re hoping to do after graduating?

I have been offered and accepted a full-time position as a Social Studies and Science educator at a local middle school, where I am currently already teaching full-time.

Is there anything else you’d like to share?

Arcadia has its ups and downs, just like any institution in life, but I am thankful for the leadership experiences, mentors, and professional and personal relationships I’ve developed during my time here.

My first memory as a freshman was being lost during orientation and meeting someone who kindly helped me find where I needed to go next—it turned out to be President Nair, who was giving a welcome speech at lunch.
