Denise has been selected for this distinguished accolade by the Evening College Faculty because of her 4.0 GPA, demonstrated academic excellence, and overall dedication to their studies. Read more about Denise.
Denise, a Jamaican native, attended the Queen’s High School in Kingston, Jamaica.
She originally began her studies at The College of Westchester in April 2002, but only completed two terms due to unforeseen circumstances, but she didn’t give up and returned in February 2024. Though she has worn many hats, Denise has always had a passion for accounting and hopes to become a CPA soon or upon completion of her studies at CW.
She chose CW because of its unique, inclusive and encouraging atmosphere. The staff is receptive, warm, knowledgeable, and they made the admission process seamless. Denise, an accounting major, has had the honor of being listed on The CW’s President’s List and is expected to complete her associate degree in Accounting by June 2025. She is a wife and mother of two. Her son will be advancing to grade 11 in the fall of 2024 and her daughter has blessed her with two beautiful grandchildren. Denise currently resides in Newburgh, New York, and lives with her mantra “deferred but not expunge”.
