I always found inspiration from my professors at NJC who made me laugh, and encouraged me to be the best I could be.  Eventually I would like to use my skills to become a video game programmer or designer.

Why did you choose Northeastern?

I chose Northeastern because of its big college opportunities in a hometown atmosphere at a low cost.

I remind myself of what my parents endured to get where they are today. They were able to achieve the American Dream, and they have taught me to go above and beyond!
