Where are you from?
Rochester, New Hampshire
What are you involved in at RIT?
College of Science Student Activity Board (COSSAB), the Pre-Vet Club, Student Orientation, Vis Viva Dance Company, the Pre-Health Society, and Student Employment (Brick City).
Why RIT and the College of Science?
I was between RIT and my state school to pursue a veterinary medicine career and after coming to an open house as a prospective student, I knew this would be the place that could provide me with so many more opportunities and ways to learn. Both the College of Science and RIT have given me endless classes, clubs, research opportunities, and potential interships to participate in to become a well-distinguished veterinarian.
What is your advice for prospective college students?
Stay true to yourself when preparing for college. Try not to let others sway your choice on where you really want to be and choose the school you know is going to give you meaningful and fun years for the time you are attending.
