I found most of my friends and community through my classes and clubs at Cornell. I met my first group of friends through Cornell’s POST (Pre-Orientation Service Trip) Program the summer before my freshman year. This week-long program allowed me to engage in service opportunities as I met other incoming freshmen. This past summer, I was a leader for this program and watched as a new set of freshmen became the best of friends as they learned more about Cornell and the Ithaca community.
I love eating on the slope with my friends! My favorite things to order on campus are the burrito from Terrace and a fruit smoothie from Crossings Cafe.
My favorite class so far is (Im)migration and (Im)migrants: Then and Now. I aspire to specialize in immigration law, and this class was a great introduction to understanding why many migrate and the country’s current immigration system.
I absolutely love watching the sunset on Libe Slope. When I walk back from my classes, I always try to pass the slope and see the beautiful sky filled with every color you can imagine. It is a very relaxing view I try my best to always take advantage of.
My favorite Cornell memory has to be performing with my salsa dance group last semester. We worked very hard during practice to perfect our dance, and it was great to finally perform it and share this exciting memory with my friends. Dance continues to inspire me in school as it has become a great stress reliever and a way for me to express myself. Last semester, I became a teacher’s assistant for a salsa dance class with other college students, which was an amazing experience as I got to share my passion with others.

I aspire to go to law school in New York City or Washington D.C. after I graduate. I hope to pursue immigration, international, and/or criminal law.
My favorite place to study is Olin Library. I tend to meet up with my friends here to study for upcoming tests and projects while enjoying our favorite snacks and drinks from Libe Cafe located right in the library.
