Why did you choose Daemen University?
I chose Daemen University because of its reputation for academic excellence. Daemen has a small supportive community, making it the perfect place for my higher education journey.
Why did you choose your present major?
I have always been interested in the rehabilitation process. When my grandma underwent knee surgery and required physical therapy, I translated between her and the physical therapist. This experience gave me an inside view of the physical therapy profession and ignited a passion within me to help others through physical rehabilitation.

What piece of advice would you give to prospective students?
Stay strong and embrace change to succeed. Resilient people turn challenges into chances. While sudden changes, like attending college for the first time can be tough, resilient people can adapt. Just like seeds need water, humans need resilience. Without it, you might miss out on amazing opportunities.
