Additional Background and Honors:
Since arriving at NYU, I have been working with a tutoring
program through the Newman Club for Catholic Undergraduates. I have
enjoyed this since my first semester. Through Scholars, I have been
able to work with numerous organizations from registering voters through
Common Cause to cleaning plaques in Union Square. I am currently studying
abroad in Madrid, Spain and having an incredible experience getting
to know the culture, the country, and the rest of Europe. While in
New York, I have had a lot of opportunities to meet with NYU Faculty
and special guests. One of my favorite memories of my freshman year
is the student luncheon I went to with President John Sexton.
