I’m a senior at Amity High School. I plan on attending Quinnipiac University this fall. My major at Quinnipiac is business undecided, but I plan on doing the 3+1 MBA and getting a stock certification at Quinnipiac. I love spending time with my two dogs Libby and Rover and spending time outside during the summertime soaking in nature.
