Bio

Hello! I am 20 years old and graduated from Middlesex High School with Latin Honors at the top 10% of my class. I am attending Lafayette College as an economics major with a certification in finance. My career goals are to start out as an investment banker and then move into hedge fund management, while writing on the side. My hobbies are art and writing, and I am an author of a children's book series. In my spare time I love illustrating my books. I am an only child, and am Italian, Polish, and French. I have two dogs, a westie and a yorkie, who are absolutely adorable! I enjoy going to IHOP with my friends, and spending time with my cousin. In my school life, my favorite subjects are english, math, and art. I was the president of my school's FBLA Club, and loved to volunteer through Key Club and National Honor Society. Thank you to the scholarship committee for considering my application!
