Marissa Simeone attends Fairfield University, as Nursing Major, Class of 2013. Marissa loves to travel, yet as a nursing major, her study abroad options are limited; so when she graduates she hopes to travel through Europe for a few months before getting settled into a career working as a Nurse Practitioner.

Having been an active member of a church her whole life, today Marissa participates in Campus Ministry. She loves the close-knit community, and is a Co-Leader, encouraging her and giving her the confidence to really pursue her future goals. Says Marissa, “Giving back to the community is so essential to me. Through good times and bad, the world could really be a better place if we all took the time to do our part.”
