BS '18
I lived in Long Island, so the commute was something I had to get used to. I really enjoyed CCNY and I made a lot of friends. There were a lot of people just like me. There was a lot of diversity, which I appreciated. Even though I changed from biology to biochemistry, it still helped me verify that I have an interest in science. The people there were very understanding because they know that you should be able to find yourself, and sometimes it took time. I didn't realize that I had a love of psychology. I got my minor in psychology to at least have some background. I've worked in labs after my graduation in 2018. I went from a microbiology lab to a clinical lab. Now I'm doing kidney stones, which is more on the human assessment in clinical research. CCNY gave me a bigger perspective about independence, really broadened my horizons, and taught me not be afraid to try new things. Recently, I was thinking of doing my master's in counseling psychology as I feel like more people need help lately, with this pandemic. I still would love to be in a balance of both science and psychology. I think they're really intertwined, which I learned in my experiences at CCNY.
