Hi guys! My name is Lisa Puran and I am currently a sophomore at Baruch College. I graduated from Brooklyn Tech and originally had my sights set on becoming a lawyer. However, after being a part of the Law and Society major, I realized that I did not want to commit to that particular area of interest and decided to settle on business, specifically Finance and Computer Information Systems. Hence, I decided to attend Baruch because of its prestigious Zicklin School of Business and also because I attend on a full scholarship through the Macaulay Honors program. Unfortunately, like many of you I am a commuter student and I am still living home in my hometown of Ozone Park, Queens. This means every morning, I have to face the terrible underground monster also known as the MTA.
On my free time, I like to read, hang out with friends/family, and travel. But perhaps one of my newfound hobbies is photography since I got a DSLR for Christmas. Since then, I like to document every little thing from birthday parties to simple outings with friends to pictures of food, you name it!
During my time at Baruch, I want to open myself to a lot of possibilities such as taking diverse classes in addition to business classes, getting involved in organizations/clubs, joining enrichment programs (which I will speak about later during FRO!), and studying abroad. I personally believe that a lot of the learning happens outside of the classroom setting and therefore urge all of you to get involved and do extracurriculars on campus in addition to your classes.
Looking forward to getting to know all of you throughout the semester! 🙂
