Hi! My name is Jessica Sweet. I'm a Math 4+1 Education Major with minors in Astronomy and Deaf Studies. I'm a Junior and working at the OAA as a Peer Advisor. I became a peer advisor because it's a great opportunity to positively influence other students and share things that I wish I knew coming to Suny New Paltz. I enjoy working at the OAA because everyone is super supportive, and we all work together to help students. In my free time, I like to read, watch movies, and going hiking in New Paltz, since they have so many trails you will never get bored of the views. I'm also involved in Outing Club, ASL Club, and W.I.S.E. While the campus is a great place to hang out and spend free time, I would definitely recommend going on the River-to-Ridge Trail and going to The Bakery to get croissants and other sweet treats in town.

Hi! My name is Katarina Xie. I am a junior majoring in Communication Disorders, with minors in Deaf studies and Linguistics. I am learning both American Sign Language and Mandarin this semester! In both of my language classes, we are learning about seasons. Summer is my favorite season because I enjoy swimming, working out, listening to music, and walking outdoors. Lately, I have been listening to more audiobooks! Some books that I highly recommend are The Bodyguard and Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center. Both are filled with unexpected twists while being extremely heartwarming and hilarious! Currently, I have recently finished the fifth season of New Amsterdam. As a peer advisor at the Office of Academic Advising (OAA), I have gained more insights into New Paltz’s academic policies. Learning about the plethora of resources available for students allows me to best inform them about their potential options. I feel a lot of satisfaction from seeing and helping students leave the OAA calmer and more relaxed. Other than taking strolls around our beautiful campus at New Paltz, I love the tight-knit community at New Paltz! I have made many close connections with my peers and professors. Throughout my past five semesters, I grew more comfortable in expressing and voicing my thoughts.

Hi! My name is Brina Novogrebelsky. I enjoy reading and writing, hiking, singing, and sharing meals with friends. One of my favorite things about New Paltz is how we approach people holistically and creatively. I love that, as a Peer Advisor, I get to meet and interact with new members of the SUNY New Paltz community every day. Providing support to fellow students with kindness and amiability is important to me and how I want to walk through the world.
