Tell us a little about yourself!

I’m a junior at NYU studying for a B.S. degree in Media, Culture, and Communication with a minor in Psychology. I’m interested in marketing, advertising, and public relations, fascinated with market research strategy and branding, and passionate about FindSpark’s message of empowerment. My time at NYU began with the relatively unique experience of a freshman year abroad (in Paris) and I plan to continue my European travels while abroad for the Spring 2015 semester (in Prague). I’m rarely seen without a mug of green tea, admittedly watch a little too much TV, and Google everything.

What part of the campus ambassador program are you looking forward to most?

Meeting and recruiting more members of the FindSpark community!

What do you love most about your school?

I love that NYU pushes its students to explore New York City and the world both inside and outside the classroom.

What’s your favorite social network and why? 

It’s hard to choose between Twitter and Instagram. Twitter appeals to my interest in live news/current events while Instagram allows me to get in touch with my “artsy” side.

If you could hear anyone speak at a future FindSpark event, who would it be? 

Martin Lindstrom.

What’s one fun fact about you?

Russian is my first language!
