I graduated from high school without choosing a career path. I knew that coming to SUNY Nassau would allow me to explore my options while getting to know myself and my interests more. Taking General Chemistry did two things for me: It challenged me and it was fun to learn about. The thought analyses that went in to asking and answering questions made the course so interesting.
While studying did take up a lot of my time at the College, I became involved at different times in the Biology club, the student government (SGA), and the SGA Programming Board. I was also a New Student Orientation Leader. One of my fondest memories as a student was getting to meet and speak with Ndaba Mandela, the grandson of Nobel Peace Prize recipient and former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela. The semester before he came, I did a report on his late grandfather in a Public Speaking class. For me to meet Ndaba and listen to him speak was surreal. I graduated from Stony Brook with a B.S. in Biochemistry.
My career goal is to work in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. As a T.A. at SUNY Nassau, my main work is in the lab, but I also tutor students in the learning center. I definitely recommend the College -- not just as an alum, but also because I've seen firsthand how it has changed the lives of those who come through here.

I served in the United States Navy in Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, II and at Camp Pendleton with the 5th Marines. I was also deployed to Okinawa, Japan twice. Stateside, I knew that Nassau Community College has a reputation for being very military friendly, and when I got here, it was true.
