FYS Class:

Class of: 2026

Major/Minor: Environmental science major, biology minor

Resident/Commuter: Resident

Favorite Class: I look back on my Field Biology and Ecology class fondly. This class made for such memorable experiences, since we traveled to different nature preserves and county/federal parks that I had never been to before. The class also came with lots of fun jokes from both my professor and my peers, which brought me closer to my fellow environmental science classmates.

Favorite Place on Campus: The Grove! I love when it is nice weather outside and I’m able to take a break to sit outside between classes. That and the lake are definitely two of the prettiest spots on campus, which I always admire when I walk past. Second place is awarded to the 2nd floor of the library…. 2nd floor best floor!

Clubs/organizations: Volunteering at the campus greenhouse (taking care of the plants there); Tutoring students in science through OSS; Student member of the college’s Tree Advisory Committee.

Future Plans: I’m looking forward to making the most of my final year at Ramapo, maybe traveling for spring break again, and earning my degree!

Advice for First-Year Students: Start by getting involved in just one thing on campus, and see how many others it leads you to!
