"I used to worry too much about my financial situation. Scholarship assistance allows me to really focus on my degree."

What do you like most about SNHU?

The great academic environment and friendly teaching styles.

How do the scholarships and financial aid you receive make it possible for you to attend SNHU? Specifically, how have scholarships made a difference?

I used to worry too much about my financial situation. Scholarship assistance allows me to really focus on my degree.

What would you say to those who donate to support student scholarships?

I am forever grateful to be awarded the Charles and Barbara Bickford International Scholarship. I hope to be able to make impactful contributions within the environmental science field, particularly in biochemistry and possibly, save lives in the future.

Why did you choose Southern New Hampshire University?

I was trying to find a university in the U.S. and SNHU has a good reputation and nice environment.

What was your hope in receiving a college education? How has your experience been different than what you imagined?

I hope to continue my studies in science and my experience at SNHU made this goal more complete. I imagined there to be more people in the classes, but most courses are kept to a smaller group for a better education experience. I feel this is great for learning.

What inspired you to choose your area of study? What is your dream job?

My grandmother is a researcher of agriculture, she taught me English when I was little. She gave me the inspiration of studying in another country and learn more knowledge. My dream job is being a researcher in a lab.

Who at SNHU (professor, coach, advisor, etc.) has been the biggest influence on your SNHU experience?

All of my professors have been a large part of my success at SNHU. Dr. York, Dr. Duryea, Dr. Goldsmith, Dr. Collins, Dr. Hamed, and Dr. Harrington were all a huge help.

In what ways have you been involved at SNHU (campus organizations, job, sports, etc.)?

I joined the Environment Science club and helped organize building the Biology club.

What do you find most challenging? How do you deal with this?

I feel learning new academic courses from an area I'm not very familiar is challenging for me. I deal with this by learning more about it and reading more journals.

What are you proudest of?

I came to America alone to study science.

In what ways do you want/hope to stay involved as an alumnus/a?

I hope I can continue my research with my professors as an alumna.
