Senior Academic Transfer Advisor
BA, CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice
MSEd, CUNY Baruch College
If I wasn't an Academic Advisor I would have been an interpreter at the United Nations.
My majors in college were International Criminal Justice and Spanish and I chose them because I was interested in working at the United Nations, Translators Without Borders, or being a court interpreter.
The top three life skills that I learned while in college are
1) Seeking help is not a sign of weakness.
2) Plans are meant to be broken.
3) Procrastination is always an option (for me at least).
My favorite quotes are
"The best revenge is massive success." (Frank Sinatra)
"So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers." (Jorge Luis Borges)
If my life had a theme song it would be We Are Young (fun.)
