As a lifelong resident of Jersey City and a proud member of a family with a legacy at Saint Peter’s, choosing to become a Peacock has always been a natural decision for me.. Growing up, I frequently passed by the campus and heard nothing but praise about the institution, solidifying my belief that it would prove to be a place where I could truly feel at home. During my college search, proximity to home was a significant factor, and Saint Peter’s perfectly fulfilled that criterion. As an undergraduate, I pursued a double major in Economics and Finance, later extending my education to earn a Master’s degree in Finance with a concentration in Global Finance. My involvement in the Economics and Finance Association and Delta Sigma Pi provided me with invaluable opportunities to connect with peers, professors, and staff. From my first month on campus, I forged friendships that felt like familial bonds – relationships that challenged and supported me throughout my journey, and shaped my college experience with lasting memories.
During my five years at Saint Peter’s, I met individuals from many diverse backgrounds. I traveled, collaborated, and celebrated achievements with these remarkable people, many of whom remain close friends today. Currently, I work at the New York City Economic Development Corporation, overseeing capital project budgets. My education at Saint Peter’s equipped me with the skills and experiences necessary for career success. The internships I secured provided practical experiences, while the curriculum helped me identify my passion for real estate development. Saint Peter’s University has not only shaped my professional aspirations but has also fostered lifelong connections and a profound sense of community. I am grateful for the experiences and lessons that have guided me along this path, and I am proud to be an alumnus of such a remarkable institution.
