My name is Julia and I’m 17. I graduated from Commack High School. I am a commuter and my vehicle of choice is a green 1995 Pontiac Firebird.  I live with my mom, stepdad and brother.  I have two dogs; one is a pit bull who we rescued from central Islip, and his name is Lowell.  The other is a 17 week old Rottweiler puppy named Nemo.  He is named after the fish because his right front paw is missing two bones so it is significantly smaller than his other three.  I love spending time with them specifically, but I love all animals, which is why I want to become a  veterinarian.  I spend my free time reading, volunteering at the Smithtown Animal Shelter, crocheting.  I am frequently found at work, a McDonald’s on Jericho Turnpike in East Northport.  I love my job and everyone I work with.  I am very outgoing and look forward to an exciting first year at SBU.

In high school I completed the International Baccalaureate Program, and received my diploma.  I am no stranger to all nighters and I believe that I will bring that experience to college, but use it to my advantage.  I am also able to sleep anywhere, so I’m sure I’ll be curled up on a couch in the commuter commons from time to time.  All kidding aside, I am a very diligent and thorough worker and I like to think that I work smarter so that I don’t have to work harder.
