 Hi! My full name is Victoria Arlene Rodriguez, but I like to be called Vicky. I’m from the Bronx, New York, and moved to Pennsylvania in 2018. I loved the city, but Pennsylvania was a better fit for my family and me. I love to read scary books and watch scary movies, but I hate scary games. In my free time, I love to pick up new hobbies such as sewing, knitting, braiding hair, and doing nails. I am obsessed with sloths and one of my goals is to meet one in a wildlife sanctuary. I also love koala bears and penguins, and my family always laughs at how many stuffed animals I have on my bed. 

  Hello! I'm Huilin, a Chinese exchange student currently studying at Bloomsburg University. I'm a junior English major at Beijing Normal University, and I'm thrilled to share some fascinating details about myself with you.      Firstly, I have a twin brother who is identical to me. It's been an incredible experience growing up with him. We've been inseparable since kindergarten and attended the same class until high school. Although we're now studying at different universities, I still feel a strong bond with him.      Secondly, I'm a huge table tennis enthusiast. It's more than just a game for me; it's a passion and a way of life. I've been playing table tennis since I was a child, and my father, who is also a sports enthusiast, passed on his love for sports to me. During my free time, I often play table tennis with my roommates.        As an exchange student in the United States, one of my primary objectives is to gain an understanding of Amer

Before I went to school at Wagner college in New york. I have two older siblings, one brother and one sister. I big hobby of mine is cooking and snowboarding. 

  Hello, my name is Reese Harmon. This is my second semester at Bloomsburg University, majoring in Medical Imaging. I grew up in the town of Bloomsburg and feel very at home attending the university. I love spending as much time outdoors as possible camping, hiking, and fishing with my friends and family. I don't enjoy playing sports, but I love watching hockey and going ice skating. One of my favorite places to travel to is Seneca Lake in New York. I go every summer with my family and our family friends. We spend a week camping, driving to cool locations, and relaxing on the lake! I did horseback riding for 7 years and was on the International Equestrian Association team for the stable I rode at. I competed in multiple shows and made it to regionals twice! I unfortunately don't ride horses anymore, but I would like to again in the future. This is my golden retriever named Tucker, he is eight years old. He loves going on walks and car rides. Tucker also loves coming with us cam

 Hi, my name is Julianne or Julie, I'm the youngest in my family, I have three brothers (one is my twin) and one sister.  My major is medical imaging and hoping to go into nuclear medicine in the future. I love to go to local coffee shops with my friends whenever possible and hang out with them as much as I can. I have a dog named Josie who is a German shepherd and she goes everywhere with me. Also, I love to bake with my family and try new recipes whenever I'm home. 

 Hello, I'm Changli , a 20-year-old girl from China . 💖 I am an international student  at Bloomsburg University. And this is the first time I get to USA.

ZIPD conference    Hey, my name is Katie and I am from Limerick, PA. I am currently a freshman and my major is finance. To apply my major to real life situations, I am an active member of Bloomsburg Investment Group and I am hoping to get a position on the executive board this spring. I also am the treasurer of the Bloomsburg Social Work Club which combines two things that I am passionate about; dealing with finances and helping the community.  Chubs!!   Tiger!!   One fun thing about me is that I have two                cats    named Tiger and Chubs. My      cats are a very important aspect of my life as they      have been around since  I was five years old.    Senior Night As I said in my introduction to the class, I used to cheer for twelve years. I started in kindergarten  and did not miss a football game through my senior year. I also did competitive cheer from 4th to 8th grade. I love to travel and have been to four countries, Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic.

 My name is Leah Kale. When hearing that name it sounds like a simple and regular name, one you'd think doesn't mean much more than what you hear. In reality, Leah is a name that comes from a Hebrew origin meaning delicate or weary. Kale is a bitter vegetable that is usually only liked when it has a great amount of seasonings or sauces, or liked by those that have acquired a taste for it. So clearly, the two meanings of my respective names are very contradicting of one another but can be argued that it describes me perfectly.   To go with my last name, I play basketball which is a tough and gritty sport. Some dislike it, just like my last name, as it moves too fast and can sometimes be difficult to understand. Others love that thrill and is the reason they play and watch the sport. I am one of those people. I have played ever since I was little, as did both of my parents and my older sister. In high school, I led the men's and women's league two years in a row for scor

Hi all! My name is Rho Keppley and I am a double major in Psychology and Theatre Performance. I am from Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. I am also a freshman here at Bloom and I'm excited to work with all of you this coming semester. I hope to be a therapist one day in the future, but theatre has always been a passion of mine.  A particular favorite style of theatre that I love to perform is Shakespeare! I participate in an outdoor Shakespeare production every summer, in past years I have been in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and The Tragedy of Richard III. This picture is of me from when we did Twelfth Night, where I played Antonio! The organization that supports these Shakespeare plays is called Schuylkill Free Shakespeare, and they put on free-to-see performances in Pottsville, Pennsylvania every summer, the only thing you need to bring to come see it is a chair! It's a great experience and I completely recommend going to see a performance of Shakespeare play

                                  Hi! My name is Kaitlyn B, who is Kaitlyn? you may ask, my major is Health science soon to be in nursing. I am 18 years old, Dominican and Puerto Rican and I come from a pretty huge family. When people get to know me they are surprised when I tell them that I am fluent in Spanish and can read and write, all I did growing up in Puerto Rico was speak spanish.                                                                           Folks are also surprised when I tell them the story of how I tore my ACL and meniscus. Ultimately surprising or not proudly saying I am a first generation university student!! and equally important: future me will be in love with traveling and the feeling of being free.                                                                           Lastly I think Wingstop is the ultimate best fast food ever! i am extremely saddened that there isn't anyone near where I live at the moment. Every time I go back to New York no matter

     Hello! My name is Emily Miller . I spend a lot of my time weight lifting and focusing on fitness. I have been weight lifting since 2019, but have been active for most of my life. I follow more of a hybrid training approach, I weight lift mostly but also include body-weight challenging exercises, like calisthenics, along with some cardio, mobility, and functional movements.  My love for fitness I like to think stems from my gymnastics career, which was a big portion of my life, and cheerleading that I switched to in high school. Even though I switched to cheerleading , I coached gymnastics from when I was 14-17 years old year round. Cheerleading allowed me to still tumble, which I enjoyed the most as floor was my favorite event.  It was a switch from throwing myself around (whether on the bars, beams, or floor), to throwing my teammates instead. It also let me become more involved in my high school, as gymnastics was separate from it and we didn't have a team at my school.

 Hi, my name's Adele and I'm a student here at Bloomsburg University. Bloomsburg was not my top choice for school nor was it in the top five.  Originally I wanted to go to school in Boston so my top five consisted of Boston University, Boston College, MIT, Harvard, and Umass. I decided early into my college application process that it was just too far away from my family.  Maybe I'll go somewhere in that area for graduate school but I still have a long way ahead of me until then. On the weekends I like to visit my family and three dogs in MountainTop. It's only a 35 minute trip so I don't mind driving there and back. The three dogs that I have are all muts we got from rescue shelters so don't ask me what breed they are because I have no idea.  I can tell you that their names are Briscoe, Monkeyboy, and Squirrel in order of most well behaved to least well behaved. One thing to know about me is that I love animals, specifically dogs, but I don't mind dissectin

      Hello, my name is Grace and I'm a biology major with a focus on natural history. I am from a small town outside of Harrisburg, called Camp Hill, but make frequent trips to the city for the many restaurants and coffee shops.  I have a German Shepherd mix named Zeke who is such a sweetheart. My family rescued him my senior year of high school, but I'm certainly his favorite human. He fits perfectly into the family and goes with us on all of our adventures. One of my favorite activities is hiking, but I will take any excuse to spend all of my time outside. After any hike or camping trip, I love to sit down for a good meal. I want to travel the world and try all different types of cuisine.

My name Mylin Ondieki, I have two sisters and we each have our own cat. I have three cats at home, my cat Leo is a Chartreux, my younger sister's cat Lea is a Korat, and my older sister's cat Biddles is a Brown Mackerel Tabby. Leo is in both pictures, and he's the only boy. Lea is the one on top of the cat tree in the picture on the left, and Biddles is the one on the right of her.  I enjoy doing art as a hobby whether its drawing, painting, or ceramics. I took a ceramics class last year in high school and it was by far, my favorite art class that I've taken yet. This is one of the drawings I made in a drawing class that I took years ago.  I also love to travel, and plan to travel more out of the country in the future! This past summer I went to the capitol of Panama, Panama City. My favorite place that I've traveled to so far is Kilifi, in the coast of Kenya. My cousins and I woke up very early one morning to watch the sunrise, and I was able to capture that beauti

 Hello! My name is Cheyenne and I am a freshman and my major is business management. I love hanging out with my friends, reading, and spending time outdoors. Even though my major is business management I would love to see a future for me as a pilot and living in Flordia.   This is my dog Velna. She's a 2-year-old German shepherd and she loves to be out in the snow. A little fun fact is her name is in Latvian and translates out to the she-devil. I like to spend the majority of my time being outside with her taking her on walks, to the dog park, or taking her to play in her pool.               Another thing I love to do is hang out with my friends! One of our favorite things to do is travel to the next to over from us and hang out at the local restaurant called Beckers. 

Me Who is Julia Anderson?      Hi, my name is Julia. I have 2 dogs, Molly and Honey , both golden retrievers. I have pretty much grown up around Bloomsburg my whole life due to living in Benton, but that doesn't mean I haven't traveled. If you don't know, Benton is a small town about a half hour away from here. I was in ballet for about 10 years until I decided that I had completed all the goals that I wanted and I decided to ditch it.       I went to a vocational high school which really allowed me to do the things that I wanted to do in life. Since it was a vocational school I had to choose a shop. So I decided to be in Printing and Graphic Communications for 4 years. It allowed me to learn many different things when it came to digital design. I also learned things like how to work with different businesses and to work on a timeline. Due to this at the end of the 4 years, I had my OSHA certification, I got so much experience working in the field, as well as, I won 1st pla
