Hometown: Philadelphia, Pa.

Program: International Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR)

Previous Degree: BA Global Studies from Arcadia University 

Why did you choose your particular program at Arcadia?

I came to Arcadia because of the travel opportunities, as well as the fact that they had an accelerated master’s program for IPCR. 

What do you hope to accomplish during your time here?

I have gotten to explore the world easily and go to countries I didn’t have on my immediate bucket list, but I am so grateful I got to see them. 

What do you do when you’re not in class?

I currently have 2 jobs outside of the positions I hold at Arcadia. When I’m not working or at school, I’m either at the gym or at home doing one of my hobbies: reading, sewing, crocheting, or crafting in general. 

Anything else you’d like to share about yourself? I didn’t expect to make as many friends as I did. I was a transfer student as well as a commuter, so I wasn’t expecting to befriend so many people and be able to hang out with them outside of class and build friendships that have traveled the world together.
