Specialization in Actuarial Science, Minor in Business Studies It is said that if you walk alone, you will go faster but in a group you will go further. As such, I want to take this opportunity to thank God, for making all of this possible, connecting dots that seemed impossible to connect. Also, I want to thank my amazing family, friends and faculty for believing in me even in the times I did not believe in myself. Be blessed and set your heart ablaze for it is the passion and determination that pushes the wheels of change.

With Dr. Earleen Patterson’s guidance, I was able to gain confidence within myself to grow into the woman I am today. Dr. Patterson was my go-to person whenever I needed a listening ear, words of wisdom and compassion, and just to talk to about what’s going on in my life.
