Why WIT?
  • I chose Wentworth because after doing intensive research, I saw that Wentworth gives current students wonderful opportunities to explore what they want to do in the future. I also found that after students graduate, they are able to find jobs very easily because of the co-op program provided at Wentworth. Not only did the job opportunities allow me to choose Wentworth but the student life did as well. I really like how there is a good number of clubs to choose from and that there is so many little organizations around campus. My favorite thing about Wentworth is definitely the Colleges of the Fenway. Since I love singing, I think the Colleges of the Fenway will provide me with numerous opportunities in the performing world.
 
Future Goals?
  • In the future, I would like to discover technology that is able to physically help people who have been struggling. I want to be able to apply what I learn at WIT to solve real world problems. I believe that having a hands-on career choice will help me to focus and create a successful future for me.
 
Favorite Food?
  • Any kind of pasta, specifically penne alla vodka, and I really love bread.
 
Personal:
  • Daughter of Jasmiry and James Bennett...has three siblings, Jayda, Jayvian, and Jayliano
