Knight’s Next Quest – Natalia Dello Buono
1. What schools did you apply to? I applied to Millersville University and Delaware Valley University.
2. What school did you commit to, and why? I committed to Delaware Valley University for Biochemistry because of their unique programs and clubs that perfectly pair with my love for animals and the environment. I can join a club that makes honey and take a class caring for animals. 
3. What are your academic/career aspirations? When I was 12 years old I innocently told my sister that I wanted to be a model and a chemist, and now at 18 I feel like I could make little mes dreams come true. While attending Delaware Valley I hope to start an internship at Merck through their E360 program and hopefully graduate with a job offer! On the side I would like to turn my Instagram into something profitable by promoting brands, and if I am feeling confident enough find a modeling agency that would sign me.
4. What are you most excited for next year? I am most excited to be independent for the first time and start building a beautiful life for myself. I am excited to decorate my own space and have the mobility to take the train near campus wherever I want when I am not in class.
5. What is your favorite North Penn memory? My favorite North Penn memory by far has to be Winter Ball my junior year. The gym was packed with students and I’ve never felt more free and comfortable dancing with my friends because the atmosphere was so inviting. It was the first dance for all grades that the high school held since the pandemic, and I think everyone missed them so much they gave up the “I am too cool for school dances” attitude.
