Erin McKenna

“When I first came to Ramapo, my main goal was to be actively engaged. Through my involvement, I have created lifelong friendships and improved on my leadership skills. Not only do I love the organizations I am involved in, but they have also encouraged me to live by my favorite quote, ‘Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.’ During my time here, I have been given many opportunities to grow and challenge myself. Although some opportunities have been nerve-racking, some of my best moments have come when I stepped out of my comfort zone. There is so much to explore in life. But I know that the support I have gotten from Ramapo will only push me to continuously do my best and pursue my dreams.”- Erin McKenna ’18 graduated with a degree in a Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing and a minor in International Business.
