Hey there! I am Benjamin, but you can call me Ben. I am a Health Science Major, with a minor in Biology. I am from Upstate New York, right near Albany. I was born in Boston, Massachusetts and have lived in Albany nearly my whole life.

Believe it or not, I chose Stony Brook by mistake. I was taking the SAT exam and had no idea who to send my scores to, so I chose a random school, that happened to be Stony Brook. I then visited Stony Brook and fell in love. When I graduate, I want to go to business school to eventually become a Health Care Manager, but if that fails I would become a Physician’s Assistant. Either way, I would love to work in a hospital. When I am not stressing over school, I am usually cooking. Cooking is one of my favorite things to do, and was going to be a backup choice in case Stony Brook failed.

Something interesting about me is that I am an only child and have been living with my mother since around 2001, with occasional visits with my father. I was also a cheerleader in second grade, and then took dance classes through the rest of elementary school. Unfortunately, I can not dance today, nor can I sing. However, I can write, some things. Specifically, I like to write poems for events that go on in my life.

Something else that may be interesting to know about me is that I am obsessed with Apple products. You name it, I have it. From laptops to phones to headphones and beyond, I have it and I love every single Apple product.

In general, I am a very upbeat and positive person. When I do have blue days, I listen to music (absolutely love music). All in all, I am excited to continue my education and see where my life takes me! Below is a photo of me and my friend Amanda, the day of homecoming. #WhatsASeaWolf
