JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHO I AM
BACK TO HOME PAGE









My name is Anna Fiorentino. I am going into my senior year as a Bioinformatics major at

the College of Staten Island in New York. For those who don't know Staten Island is one

of the five boroughs in New York City. Bioinformatics is a new major that fuses the fields

of biology and computer science. I was very fortunate to be chosen as one of the

students to participate in the Distributed Mentor Project. I want to broaden my

knowledge in computer science so that I can be a better candidate for graduate

school. I am hoping to get my master's degree in Bioinformatics or a related field

such as Biotechnology. I am fascinated with using the computer to solve problems

in biology. I would love to work on finding new treatments for genetic diseases.



In my spare time I work on campus helping incoming freshmen get acquainted with

college life. I also tutor students in the sciences and mathematics. My first interest was to

become a writer, but then I realized I would rather keep that as a hobby than a career.

I enjoy watching movies , sitcoms, and my soap opera Passions.


Well that's me in a nutshell ( I never really understood that saying ).
