Where are you going? After graduation I start work as a Patient Care Associate at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, which serves on the LGBT community, as well as those living with HIV/AIDS. I’m very, very excited.

Three things you learned at Columbia:

Any advice for the Class of 2014?
1. You’re not going to figure it all out during your first semester. Or even your first year.

3. Take African Dance with Maguette.
4. See a Broadway show.
5. BELIEVEINYOURDREAMS!!!!!!!!!

Any regrets? I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention.
