Presidential Ambassadors

I am a senior studying exercise and sports science to become an orthopedic physician's assistant. I am currently interning at Complete Physical Therapy and Wellness in Fitchburg, MA, and developing my Honors Thesis Project about medial tibial stress syndrome. In addition to my role as a Presidential Ambassador, I am in my fourth year working for Housing and Residential Services as a Lead Resident Assistant and am also part of the team at the Recreation Center. When I'm not engaged in the above, you'll find me enjoying a quiet moment to read, spending time with my family and friends, cheering at a Revolution soccer match, or jogging around campus. (There in spirit today! Feel free to say hello if you see me around!)  

(She/They) As a visual artist, filmmaker, game designer, musician, composer and committed advocate for inclusion, I blend creativity with a commitment to foster understanding and connection in diverse communities. My work is shaped by my experiences as a neurodivergent, gender-fluid individual in the LGBTQIA+ community, and I explore identity, self-expression, and belonging. I was inspired by my own journey for acceptance and my art embraces the othered in society, creating spaces where underrepresented voices and marginalized people can be seen, heard, valued and accepted. As a child, I faced bullying and saw a lack of acceptance. I took action and became an activist. I founded a county-wide youth support group and started my school’s first GSA. My group campaigned for additional GSAs at other schools, hosted an alternative prom, and gave LGBTQIA+ youth a more visible presence in the community. After relocating to Arlington, Massachusetts, I joined ACMi, a local public access TV station as a youth member. This allowed me to express my inner world as an Autistic person and to connect with others through storytelling. At 13, my documentary film won the Crowd Favorite award at the A-Town Teen Film Festival. I led the Film Focus Media Club at AHS. I graduated from Arlington High School in 2023 as a member of the National Honor Society. I chose Fitchburg State because I have the opportunity to work towards dual degrees under a warm and supportive faculty in a diverse environment. At FSU, I am a Commonwealth Honors Program scholar, peer tutor, active member of the GSA and sometimes participant in the Improv Club and Role-Playing Guild, Veronica contributes towards building an inclusive and accepting campus community here. I am dedicated to using my creativity to inspire empathy, inclusion, and positive change through storytelling. I want to inspire others to embrace their authentic, unique selves to create a more compassionate, accepting world.

I am in the Police Program, and Honors Program. I am a first-generation college student. Ever since I was a kid I knew that I wanted to be a Police Officer, so our Police Program was the perfect choice for my career path! When I graduate I hope to work for either a municipal, or state law enforcement agency in Massachusetts. If I am not in class, or doing homework, I enjoy working, reading, and spending time with my family. I have worked at a horse barn since my Junior year of high school, and I've loved every second of it. I just started reading the Harry Potter books, and I'm really enjoying it!  

I play on the Women’s Basketball team and occasionally work in the recreation center on campus. When I am not in school I work full time as a certified pharmacy technician at CVS and I also spend the winter months as an immunizer! I have always been fascinated with personal fitness and love spending my days working out and running. I hope to one day have a job within the state police or FBI. I love to listen to metal music to relax and do homework, as well as workout. I love trying new ice cream flavors and restaurants as well as spending time in the sun on the beach. During school my favorite place to be is the library, second to the basketball court :)  

I am a sophomore and a proud first-generation student. When I am not focused on academics, you can usually find me working at the library, connecting with peers, or participating in my Bible study club.

My dream is to become a mental health counselor, particularly serving Christian communities. Ultimately, I aspire to pursue a Ph.D. and establish a psychiatric institute of my own.

My project ideas are to make a video that is remade every two years, covering student life, staff and professors that provides a current view of campus to incoming students and whoever else the university may want to show the video to. I want to support the cross-campus initiative to help make the campus focus on being more environmentally friendly with a focus in aiding the project of reinstating the greenhouse.
