She always maintains a friendly and articulate demeanor while collaborating on projects with other students and library staff.\u00a0 Becca has been an asset to the department, and it has always been a pleasure to work with her.<\/p>\n<p>Becca, who hails from Long Valley, New Jersey, is a senior Biology major and is currently on the hunt for a job for after graduation. Wherever she may find herself in the future, we know she will thrive and develop into a positive and confident leader! Throughout her time at Scranton, she enjoyed competing for the University\u2019s equestrian team. Her favorite books and movies are the <em>Harry Potter<\/em> and <em>Lord of the Rings<\/em> series, and a little known fact about Becca is that she was originally born in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Becca!
