Why did you choose Stockton University?
Stockton is the perfect fit for me for several reasons. The tuition is affordable, making it a financially sound decision, and the campus is located just far enough from home to give me a sense of independence without feeling completely disconnected from my family. Additionally, the size of the school is ideal—it’s large enough to offer diverse opportunities, yet not so overwhelming that I feel lost in the crowd. This balance made the transition to college life smooth and comfortable.
How did you choose your major?
I chose to major in Communication Studies because of the wide variety of career options it offers. The field provides the flexibility to pursue a range of interests, from public relations and advertising to media production and corporate communication. With a communications degree, I can work in different industries, including sports, entertainment, business or even nonprofits.
What clubs and activities are you involved with at Stockton?
I am a sprinter on the Women’s Track team.
What are your career goals?
After graduating, I aspire to work with Philadelphia sports teams in their PR and advertising departments, gaining valuable experience in the industry. Looking further ahead, my goal is to establish and run a successful business of my own.
What advice do you have for students thinking about attending Stockton?
College is a time for self-discovery and growth, so take advantage of the opportunities that come your way, whether it’s joining clubs, networking or exploring new subjects. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when needed, whether it’s from professors, advisors or fellow students. Lastly, remember to enjoy the journey. These years go by fast, so make the most of them!
