My name is Frederick, but you all can call me Freddy. I am a first-year graduate student in the Salem State Higher Education Student Affairs program. I graduated from Merrimack College with a bachelor's in Mathematics and Teacher Education with a minor in Psychology in 2023. After experiencing many on-campus opportunities from working in Admissions, the tutoring and math center, being a part of Student government, and being a part of the Orientation team at Merrimack, I landed on pursuing a master's degree in Higher Education Student Affairs. I switched my major and track at least two different times in my undergrad. I was also born and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and I am excited to meet all of you.
