– Thanks Alex. Hi everyone. It’s always been important to me to be a kind, mindful and engaged person who gives back to the community. I’m constantly looking for opportunities to excel professionally and surround myself with like-minded people. From Dean scholar to student athlete, to leader of my sorority and CEO of a student run business, I’ve immersed myself in every aspect of the campus experience. LIU takes experiential learning to the next level. As CEO of The Student Body boutique, one of the largest student-run businesses on campus, I’m gaining hands on experience running a retail business, from hiring to marketing to buying our own collections. It’s an amazing opportunity to build on my resume before I even graduate. I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer in New York Fashion Week every season and consult real business of a team of students from other global institutions. And of course, you can’t have student life without Greek life. As a member of my sorority, Alpha Epsilon Phi, I’ve been able to learn from my sisters, hold various leadership positions, get back to the community and make lifelong friends. I’m also proud to represent Shark Nation as a member of our Division I fencing program, which has recently won several national championships. I train their two phenomenal Olympic coaches and have met incredible athletes from all over the world that I get to call my teammates. But my journey doesn’t stop here. I’ve gained so many valuable skills and experiences throughout my four years here at LIU that will last a lifetime. With only a few months left till graduation, I’m confident and excited to go out and show the world what I’m capable of. That’s my story. Back to you, Alex.

– Thanks Alina. That was so so much fun. You are definitely taking advantage of every opportunity to meet new friends, create lifelong memories, gain real world experience and become a leader on campus. That is awesome. Well done. Thanks again, Alina.
