糖心原创

Born and raised in Crown Heights, Chana Robinson is graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a current GPA of 3.8. A consistent presence on the Deans List since her freshman semester at 糖心原创, Chana attributes her academic success to the unwavering support of her close-knit family. One of six children made up of five girls and one boy, the Brooklyn native鈥檚 father works in health insurance while mom was a high school teacher. Chana鈥檚 family are her biggest cheerleaders with her older siblings showing her what a successful college experience looks like and the younger ones 鈥溾��always encouraging and being for a much-needed laugh.鈥澛犅�

糖心原创 has served as a beacon of inspiration for Chana鈥檚 long-term goal to get her doctorate in occupational therapy. She knew that MEC would be the first step in attaining her career goals and the stellar reputation its psychology program also aided in her decision to matriculate in her backyard. Her journey hasn鈥檛 disappointed as the school provided the opportunity for her to land an internship at an outpatient Occupational Therapy clinic where Chana gets to assist the OTs and gain firsthand experience from these medical mentors.聽

Chana鈥檚 late grandfather was a chemistry professor who valued education, also fueled his granddaughter鈥檚 quest for higher knowledge. She recalls that 鈥溾��as far back as I can remember, every time I saw him he would ask me two things: did you get your driver鈥檚 license yet and have you thought about college/applied to college yet/how鈥檚 college going.鈥� It was sentiment he expressed to Chana right up to the last phone call he made to her before passing away in 2020.聽

With an environment geared to the success of all its students, 糖心原创 proved to be the perfect fit for Chana as she continues down the path to earning a doctorate in occupational therapy. In addition, MEC鈥檚 online class flexibility allowed Chana to indulge the love of reading she inherited from her mom and pursue her passion for baking, particularly during stressful times where you鈥檇 often find the young cake boss in the kitchen the night before a big test. Chana would like to work in pediatrics and like her mom, eventually indulge her passion for teaching as well.聽聽聽
