Hello!

Hello, My name is Adriana Rodriguez, I consider myself as an outgoing introvert who tells many corny jokes. I am Dominican-American and a first-generation student. I was born in New Jersey but I’ve lived in New York my entire life.Being out here in Long Island is a huge difference from what I am used to. Growing up I moved a lot and I’ve been to more than 10 schools in my lifetime. The most interesting school I’ve been to was High school. I went to Food and Finance Highschool in Midtown Manhattan; a culinary-based school, therefore, a typical day would consist of solving equations, reading, writing and preparing all kinds cuisines; not to mention the endless dishwashing we had to do at the end of the day. Four years of culinary didn’t spark my interest to pursue a career in the culinary field. Somewhere in the middle of the junior year of high school, I decided that I wanted a career in the medical field. So I came to Stony Brook as a Health-Science major with on a pre-med track. When I get older I wish to become an Optometrist. I am into podcasts and I’ve had the amazing opportunity to co-host my own podcast( If you would like to listen to 30 minutes of cringy-ness you can search FSTW on the podcast app or SoundCloud).  I love to speak for and about mental health issues; I believe that everyone has the right to feel comfortable in the own skin and find happiness in their everyday lives. I love acting and writing performance pieces. Hopefully, this shows you a part of who I am and I can not wait to share more of my writing with you!
