I am a first-generation college student, navigating my own path through higher education. Growing up in West Palm Beach, Florida, with two Italian parents who worked tirelessly to support me and my siblings, I was raised with a strong foundation in hard work and dedication. My parents, both first-generation Italian-Americans, instilled in me a commitment to always give my best effort and to continually strive for personal growth. I am passionate about taking on new challenges and expanding my knowledge in areas that push me out of my comfort zone. My goal is to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those around me and to contribute positively to my community, continuing to learn and grow well beyond college.
