Hi! I am so excited to serve as the President of HPSC this year after serving as Director of Publicity last year! I am a Biology major and my goal is to become a veterinarian, combining my love for animals and science. I am originally from Basking Ridge, NJ although my family recently moved to Devon, PA. When I’m not in class, you can find me in the Honors Office or hanging out with my animals! I have a cat, Mo, who lives here in Wilkes-Barre with me, and at home, I have 3 more cats, a dog, and five chickens. I’m looking forward to collaborating with everyone to make this a fantastic year for the Honors Program!

I was born in the Philippines where I lived 10 years before moving to Seoul, South Korea where I did middle and high school. That being said, I am an American citizen with most of my time being spent in Hawaii, which I had visited every year of my life until the pandemic hit. This is my first year as director of social events but my second year on HPSC.

In my free time I enjoy playing board games, badminton, and eating good food (especially wings).
