I enrolled at SUNY Nassau because I knew I wanted to major in life sciences and I wanted to work on some foundational skills while taking advantage of the College's affordable tuition and proximity to my home. I was also given the opportunity to enroll in the honors program, which allowed me to challenge myself even further.

I loved Chemistry in high school and after taking chemistry classes at SUNY Nassau learned more about the opportunities available for a chemist. During my last semester at the College, I was president of the chemistry club, event coordinator for the honors club, an orientation leader for incoming freshmen and a student mentor! I would say my fondest memory at SUNY Nassau was working with Dr. Agarwal, Prof. Sleckman and my peers to create a life-sized version of the very first periodic table for an American Chemical Society conference. It was fun seeing everyone's vision come to life and I received invaluable advice from professors about moving forward both academically and professionally.

I strongly encourage other students to attend SUNY Nassau and take advantage of its many opportunities for students. I built many relationships, from professors to other students, that are more difficult to form at larger universities. I also was able to work on the skills I needed to succeed in college as a STEM major.

My transfer to Stony Brook was essentially seamless because I transferred within the SUNY system. In the future I would like to obtain my medical doctorate and master's in public health and one day build clinics to serve underrepresented populations who face barriers to accessing quality, affordable healthcare.
