Welcome to Our Student Community Team!
We are delighted to present the newest members of the OpenLab! Our Student Community Builders will be helping us with student outreach, student help, and student training. Our Student Bloggers will be writing on various topics–giving advice to City Tech students, rating places to each around campus, even discussing pop-culture. From left to right in the picture we have Ruchoma Kaganoff, Zam Mozumder, Shawn Brumell, Patricia Jade Persaud, and Amber Vinson. Welcome!
You’ll be hearing more from them in the coming weeks, but for now, let’s let a few of them introduce themselves:
Hi, I’m Ruchoma! I’m finishing up my second semester in the nursing program. I love the program for its challenging professors, super classmates, and of course the field of nursing itself. I don’t really have much free time between my own school work, tutoring first semester nursing students, and extracurricular activities that include the Open Lab, writing a health column for the New Tech Times, and my position as contributing editor for the honor’s newsletter. I grew up in Chicago, but I like it here in Brooklyn almost as much. I like to think that I still retained my Midwestern cordiality and openness. I look forward to meeting all of you on Open Lab!
Hey, my name is Zam Mozumder. I was born in Bangladesh but I left as a young child and was brought up in Brooklyn. This is my first year in City Tech and I’m majoring in Computer Science and Engineering. One personal thing about me that I’d like to share is that I like to lead my team. I’m the oldest child in my family and I like to set a great example for my younger brother and sister. I love to help them and teach them about things so they can understand and achieve their goals in life and I hope to continue helping people as the days go on.
I’m Shawn Brumell, born and raised in New York. I’m currently in my 3rd year at City Tech, and majoring in Graphics Arts Production Management. After interning at the the design agency, C4 Technologies, I plan to pursue a career in web and editorial design, once I graduate.
My name is Patricia Jade Persaud. I am an Advertising & Communication Design major, a junior at City Tech. I enjoy experiencing art in every form. I enjoy sketching, designing, writing and yoga. I’m currently exploring my artistic skills and working on a few personal and academic projects. My favorite holiday is daylight savings
