SETON HALL UNIVERSITY

+2 Elementary/Special Education Major with a Concentration in Speech-
Language Pathology
M
ember of the Seton Hall Women’s Swim Team
I
chose to attend Seton Hall University because it is a Catholic University,
with a Speech-Language Pathology major and a Division I swim team. I loved
the small school feel, and the beautiful campus. I immediately felt at home
here at Seton Hall.
MY ROOTS
I
was born and raised in the Albany, NY area.
I
was homeschooled from Pre-School through 12th grade.
I
have been swimming competitively since I was six years old.
M
y Mom and Grandma taught me how to cook when I was very young,
and I now love to cook and bake - anything and everything.
FAMILY
A
t home, I live with my mom, dad, sisters and brother.
M
y mom is a stay-at-home mom, however, she is a certified occupational
therapist. My dad is a small business owner.
I
am the oldest of four children.
M
y family lives on a quiet country road, with a lot of surrounding land to
enjoy.
THE FUTURE
When I graduate from Seton Hall, I will have an
undergraduate degree in Elementary and Special Education, as
well as an undergraduate degree in Liberal Studies, with a
minor in Spanish. I will also have a graduate degree in Speech-
Language Pathology.
I hope to work as a Speech-Language Pathologist after I finish
college.
I would love to pursue a doctorate degree in the future.
I hope to marry and raise a family someday.
ROAD BLOCKS
O
ne of the greatest roadblocks in my academic life will
always be money. I do not come from a wealthy family,
in fact my family cannot afford to pay for me to attend
college. However, I have discovered that a way to
overcome this roadblock is to work hard to maintain
excellent grades in school in order to earn scholarships.
FUN TIMES
S
wimming is a huge part of my life that consumes most of my free time. It has taught me
the value of hard work and perseverance in life.
I
also enjoy running, as it is a great stress-reliever from swimming.
I
love to cook and especially to bake, something I miss very much while living in college
dorms.
I
love TV shows like Law and Order SVU, Criminal Minds and White Collar.
E
ver since I was fourteen years old, I have always had after-school jobs, and I truly
appreciate the value of working and having a job. The sense of responsibility and
accomplishment that having a job provides is irreplaceable.
