Bio

Educational Background:

B.A., Communications-Public Relations, and Journalism, Minor in Theatre - Marist College (2023)

What were you involved with on campus as a student?

During my time at Marist College is was involved with Marist Singers, Marist Chamber Choir, the all-male identifying a cappella group: Time Check, and an active member of Marist Theatre! Additionally, I was a part of the student-run communications firm North Road Communications and worked in the Marketing office as the Host of Marist’s interview talk show Word on the River!

Favorite spot on campus:

My favorite spot on campus besides the river was the Marist Green! I would always be there either with my friends throwing a frisbee or relaxing on blankets listening to music! It was also my favorite spot to interview students for Word on the River!

Favorite Marist tradition:

Sledding down the Marist Green while it’s covered in snow was one of my favorite things to do with friends! It became a tradition every year when it snowed to hit the slopes and then get a nice cup of hot chocolate afterward!

Favorite Marist memory:

I have a lot of favorite Marist memories, but singing the Marist College fight song at football games and performing in Marist Theatre shows were my favorites! Graduating seniors get to take a final bow together in the Nelly Goletti Theatre; that is a memory I will always hold close to my heart.

Best advice for the college search:

Go with your heart! Wherever you feel the most comfortable and safe on your college visit journey is the place for you! It can be a very overwhelming process, so it is important to remember to take a deep breath and look for a school you are passionate about! If you can envision a future at that college, then go for it! Everything works out in the end!

Why did you choose Marist?

I chose Marist because when I visited campus I immediately felt a warmth unlike any other college I had visited. The personable student-to-teacher ratio, variety of extracurriculars and clubs, thriving residential life, and supportive community were everything that I wanted and more in a college experience. There was always something to do and I found myself enriched in the endless opportunities that the college had to offer!

What makes Marist special to you?

Everything. Marist is an incredibly special place like no other. My 4 years here were the best experience of my life, so much that I knew there was nowhere else I wanted to be after graduation. The people you meet and friendships you will form are like nothing else in the world. I was able to pursue my passion for acting and performing on stage while additionally taking classes that prepared me for the real world. I am incredibly grateful to be part of the Red Fox Family, and the friendships you make are built to last a lifetime.
