Hi! I’m Calista, a freshman double majoring in Statistical Science & Data Analytics and Finance. I’m passionate about blending AI, business, and ethics—and Temple is giving me all the tools to make that dream a reality! I’m from the smallest state in the country, Rhode Island. I chose Temple because it’s perfectly located near major cities and offers an incredible variety of clubs and opportunities to explore. On campus, I’m the Treasurer of the Temple Data Science Community and am on the Partnerships Committee for our Hootathon—a dance marathon supporting the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Within Fox, I’m involved with the TU American Statistical Association, Temple Finance Association, and Women in Business. Outside of Fox, I'm involved with the Temple University Philippine American Council, Temple Tech Trading Club, and Temple Irish Dance. When I’m not busy with clubs and classes, you’ll I'm most likely taking a fitness class at Temple's gym, exploring Rittenhouse Square, or crocheting in my dorm. I’m so excited to meet you and show you everything that makes Temple such an amazing place to be!
