Favorite memory at Saint Rose?
One of my favorite memories at Saint Rose is all of time I spent in Dr. Pfister’s office. I met so many new and amazing people that turned into great friends and enjoyed the relaxing and safe environment it provided us all. Without that space and people I met there, I don’t think I would’ve made it this far.

What are your future plans?
My plans for the future are to continue my education at Saint Rose, getting my graduate degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in Special Education. After that, my goal is to use and apply all of the knowledge I’ve collected throughout my years at Saint Rose and finally begin my teaching career.

Favorite memory at Saint Rose?
Some of my favorite memories at St. Rose have been going to all of the concerts, performances, and other events over the past four years. I have been very involved in a lot of music groups and clubs on-campus, being the president of ACDA last year and a part of the music ministry for the college mass at St. Vincent’s. I also went to a lot of events hosted by SA, SEB, and LateKnight, whenever I could!

What are your future plans?
My plans for next year, and in the future, involve getting my initial teaching certification for New York State and trying to get a job in elementary general music and/or chorus. I will also most likely have to earn my Master’s degree within the next five years or so, which I’m hoping to get in either special education, elementary ed., or possibly music therapy.

P.S. Good luck to the entire class of 2020! We have all made it so far and deserve this recognition. <3
