My name is Michelle Madera and I am a sophomore transfer student here at CCNY, double majoring in Math and Italian. I’ve loved studying math since my early childhood and my interest peaked when I took a Calculus course during high school. I could finally incorporate all of the elements I’d learned throughout my math education like geometry and trigonometry, and it felt like all of the pieces of the math “puzzle” finally began to fall into place. I’m looking forward to the rest of my math journey at CCNY and supporting others along the way.
