What is your favorite thing to do in New York City and why?: I am a huge fan of New York City, which makes choosing just one thing difficult.

What has been your coolest experience at NYU Stern so far?: It had to be Block Olympics! I had an amazing time competing against the other blocks and seeing everyone showcase different sides of themselves. Everyone was putting on a full display of their athleticism, intelligence, creativity, camaraderie, and so much more. It felt like I was discovering everyone’s hidden talents while getting to know people across the blocks on a more personal level. The competition was fierce, and I had even more fun than I expected. It was an incredible experience!
