Hey guys!

So a bit about me- I was born in Flushing, Queens and started off my childhood there. I spent the first 8 years of my life in Queens and made some great friends there that I still have. After the 3rd grade, my family and I moved to Woodmere, on Long Island and that’s where I still live today. I went to an all-boys private school for high school where I learned a tremendous amount and made some of the best friends I could ever ask for. After I graduated high school, last year I set off to Israel to study abroad as a gap year. My time in Israel was probably the most pivotal time period in my life as I feel the experience I had immersing myself in the culture of where I come from and the adventures I went on with friends really shaped who I am today. Also, the friends that I made while in Israel, from all over the United States and Canada, will ultimately prove to be a tremendous asset for me in terms of guidance and companionship for the rest of my life. I was lucky enough to score a spot into the Baruch Scholar’s program at Baruch and since I started classes about a month ago I’m really starting to get the hang of things. I hope that through college I will be able to find what I want to pursue and to gain knowledge in all fields through my different courses. I also am looking forward to continue making new friends!
