WHY I CHOSE ROOSEVELT:
Small class sizes, the psychology major and being in the heart of downtown Chicago.
DREAM JOB AND WHY:
I want to work in higher education administration. As a first-generation Latinx college student, having someone who understands what I am going through because they share a similar background has made all the difference in my educational experience. Having diverse faculty and administrators on college campuses is important to successfully creating inclusive learning environments.
FAVORITE COURSE TAKEN AT ROOSEVELT AND WHY:
Identity, Knowledge and Power with Professor Leslie Bloom. This was an experiential learning course that focused on self-defense and empowerment in everyday life. I learned lifelong lessons and skills and I highly recommend this course to students.
ADVICE FOR INCOMING STUDENTS:
Take advantage of student employment opportunities on campus. Working an on-campus job is a great way to combine work and school and your supervisors may serve as future references, too.
FAVORITIE SPOT IN CHICAGO:
The Museum Campus by Lake Michigan provides a lovely view of the city skyline.
