Office Hours: 1 to 2 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation through email each week. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If the above times don’t work for you, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email.

Hello everyone my name is Karan. I enjoy in my spare time to play guitar and commonly play video games. I am currently enrolled in Computer Systems Information since it appeals to me the most. I grew up mostly loving technology mainly computers and now I get a chance to exponentially expand my knowledge furthermore.
Hey karan, that’s soo cool that you play guitar. I use to play when I was a kid, as I grew up I stopped and I wish I never did.

Hello guys,my name is Kevon Dawkins that my academic interests are learning new ideas everyday,helping people and surfing the internet. I chose computer engineering because I like computers and technology in general and Im pumped up of what the golden technology year has to offer when that comes..I like reading in general but not as much since quarantine probably because of the dark environment,surrounding and atmosphere Im in,hehe .Since quarantine, have been watching pure anime and less news(thatch where I read-articles,newspaper).During my spare time I exercise a lot ,you can call me a gym addict due to the fact that I love working out and no time wasted have to build my muscle(bodybuilding and toning).
Hi Kevon,
I think it’s pretty awesome how you like learning about new ideas everyday. Not many people like to expand their thoughts. What Animes have you watched?
Hello everyone my name is Chelsea Brenyah, and I’m currently in the Liberal art program for my associate degree. The reason why I choice this major was so I could be able to take my prerequisites for the dental hygiene program. Also I’m a transfer student from University at Buffalo, so everything does feel little different, but I’m excited for my journey. I’m interested in Lash and I actually sell them as well as do them on my spare time. Being a lash tech is very therapeutic for me, it takes me feel relaxed when I’m stressed. I don’t really have a favorite book because I don’t read much but hopefully through this class I will be able to find one. When it comes to music I love afro-beat music, hip-hop, and R&B. On my spare time I usually do LOTS of online shopping or go out with my friends to eat. Food is life for me!!!

Good morning Professor and classmates,
My name is rania, it’s nice to meet you guys. More about myself is that I’m a sophmore at city tech. and my major is dental hygiene. Ever since I was a child I was always interested in the health care support profession. I would always go to the dentist and see the hygienests always putting a smile on people’s face especially the children after they were done with their job. I enjoy reading interesting articles, for example there was an article saying that there is a whole other body of ocean under the ocean itself, which I find really intersting. I love dramatic action movies. And on my spare time I like to play basketball and/or explore different places around New York City.
Thank You,
Rania Mohamed
Hey Rania, I have always been interested in Dentistry ever since I was a kid, but my passion for it grow when I first go braces and had to go in for a bracket change every month.

I chose this major because I’ve always been interested in art related things for the longest. In my spare time I like to paint and just vibe out to music and explore all the hidden gems of New York City.

Good afternoon,
My name is Yaire Castillo and I’m a college freshman. I’ll be graduating in 2024 and I look forward the upcoming school year although it is online. For so long, I had been struggling between pursuing a career in medicine and in criminal justice. It wasn’t until last year that my interest in criminal justice sparked even more. I realized that pursuing a career in medicine was to make others happy but myself. I had a forensics class with an amazing teacher, Ms. Lara who really made me realize that I had so much potential to be in the criminal justice field. I live for justice and in making sure that everyone gets treated fairly. I can go on and on when talking about my career choice but I’ll leave it up to here. On my own time I like to paint. I love to listen to music while I study. And I love watching sunsets. Once again, I look forward to this school year and hope that we all do our best!
Thank you,
Yaire Castillo
Welcome to City Tech, Yaire! I wish you the best this semester. I also really enjoy watching sunsets and taking pictures of them. I also find music soothing when it comes to studying.
Hey Yaire nice name by the way congrats and welcome to city tech. Wishing you a good semester
