Bergen Community College

Senior Development Officer, Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey

I went to BCC out of high school, dropped out and went back when I was 25 years old. After Bergen, I transferred to Rutgers. Through the student activities I became involved with the BCC Foundation, where I interned and helped with the BCC Golf Classic. BCC is where I found my passion for working in the non-profit sector. Now I am the Senior Development Officer at Make-A-Wish Foundation of New Jersey.

The reason I chose BCC was because it was affordable.

Getting involved with student activities. It made me feel like I was part of the "college experience."

The two classes I took with Dr. Joanne Glasgow. It prepared me for my continuing education at Rutgers!I was the Vice President of the Philosophy Club. It was great to discuss ideas without worrying about a grade. It was also a great way to meet other students and interact with the professors outside of the classroom.

Show up to class and sit in the front row! It's best if the professor knows who you are!
