Patricia Bandos 

On Campus, I am involved in my social sorority, Alpha Phi, and have held multiple appointed positions as well as a position on the executive board. During the 2022 year, I was the Vice President of Health, Wellness, and Accountability. Holding this position was what ultimately made me change my entire career path at the end of my sophomore year. Additionally, I am part of an RSO called HRPO, Human Resources and Psychology Club. This organization teaches me more about psychology and introduces me to many guest speakers. The past two summers, I have held two different HR internships and these allowed me to learn so much valuable info that will be useful when I enter the work force! 

Outside of school, I love to work out! I really enjoy taking the cycling classes at the arc because it is such a fun way to incorporate cardio into your workouts. I also love going on runs and walks with my friends. I also love to read, specifically, romance and thriller novels. So far I have read 16 books this year. Some of my favorite authors are B.A. Paris and Emily Henry. If you're also a book lover- add me on good reads! And, if you're not, feel free to ask about some of my book recommendations if you would like to get into reading. 

On top of all of that... I LOVE to travel!! Last spring break I was able to visit my best friend while she was studying abroad, so I was able to see Barcelona and we also took a trip to Paris! The previous spring break, I visited my college friend in her hometown- San Francisco! My favorite places I have visited are Spain and Poland (but I might be a little biased towards Poland because my entire family is from there). In the future, I really hope that I can go to Japan, Singapore, Romania, and many many more places.
