Tell us about what you're doing with your life.
I live in New York City, where I work in sports marketing with clients that have included Tim Duncan, Ray Allen, Chris Paul, Emmitt Smith, and Stephen Curry. I also develop book projects as a literary agent.
This summer I am taking a trip to Kenya - part volunteer work, part vacation. Can't wait!
What was your favorite class at Cornell, or the one you found the most useful?
I loved my Spanish language classes. Instructor Susana Sainz worked so hard on my accent. When I speak Spanish now, my accent fools people to the extent that I have to ask them to slow down. My Spanish vocabulary now is only about seventy five words.
Which Cornell classmates do you keep in touch with?
Tons! Facebook makes it so much easier and I'm so grateful for that.
I could mention a lot of friends but Joanne Rotondi, Geraldine Zikely, Cherylanne (Muraski) Skolnicki and Christine Grund will always hold a special place in my heart.
If you could change anything about your Cornell experience, what would it be?
I might have changed majors. Spanish and literature classes were my favorite but I worried about what I’d do with either of those degrees so I stuck with psychology. That said, my experiences studying toward a psych degree have come in handy too.
I realize now that a degree is only one part of career preparation and that one shouldn’t feel limited.
