Hi! My name is Selena Gaspar and I am a sophomore at Stockton University majoring in Biology. Last semester I studied in Athens Greece and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Other than being a full-time student I am an Education Abroad Ambassador, T.A.L.O.N.S, and a sister of Delta Zeta! In my free time I enjoy writing, hanging out with friends, baking, and volunteering!
