I am currently a student at Baruch College in New York City and I am majoring in journalism.

I  graduated from Valley Stream North High School. Being an editor and a reporter for the <i>North Star</i>, Valley Stream North High School&#39;s student newspaper, has given me experience on deadlines and what may be in store for me in the future. In addition to working on my school&#39;s newspaper, I have contributed to the Malverne/West Hempstead Herald. So far in my journalism career I have interviewed a few celebrities, including Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke from the <i>Dukes of Hazards</i>,) KTU radio DJ and freestyle artist Judy Torres, Kim Sozzi, WNBC news anchor Sue Simmons, J-Woww from the Jersey Shore and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Another big part of my life is volunteering. For the past five years I have volunteered at the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Metro New York. I have organized my own fundraiser for this foundation and it was a huge success.

I Currently work at the UPS Store of Franklin Square, where we pack and ship your packages also well as all your printing needs.

I look forward to working with Malverne-West Hempstead Patch and bringing the news of Malverne and West Hempstead into your homes!
