Why did you choose to come to Marymount Manhattan?
I wanted to live and study in Manhattan. I heard the arts programs were great. The 55th St. Residence Hall really won me over, though.

What activities do you participate in at MMC?
I try to participate in everything that is available, schedule permitting. I am the current President of the Black/Latino Student Association (BLSA). My goal (aside from creating a sense of community among students of color) is to promote oneness, unity, and humanity for everyone at MMC. BLSA's 3rd Annual Speak Up Poetry Slam will be held this year on 11/11/11 @ 7 PM in Regina Peruggi! Of course, I also participate in big events such Apple Fest, Strawberry Fest, the Boat Dance, among others.

What has been your favorite class taken at the college? Why?
I would have to say Acting I. This course was my first college level acting course. It, along with my professor (Ellen Orenstein), was very challenging. Though challenging, it proved very rewarding. By May, Ellen managed to strip away all the ego and pretense and cultivated a nice group of young actors. I will always carry with me the skills and tips (and journals) given to me by Ms. Ellen Orenstein.
