My name is Branden Westbrooks and I am a Business Administration major with a concentration in accounting. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and I graduated from Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. In high school, I was co-captain of my varsity basketball team and was the leader of my section in the Advanced Jazz Band playing the trombone. In my spare time I like to play basketball, walk around the neighborhood with my bros, or go help my grandmother in her garden. I like watching anything basketball related and even a couple TV shows such as Teen Wolf and The Walking Dead. I attended St. Paul's Community Baptist Church in East New York, which has stapled my firm belief in God for 8 years. I am an alumni of Chionesu Bakari which is a program that is engaged in the ministry of saving and developing young black males by motivating them to think critically and prepare their minds for the men they will grow to become. Some of my strongest qualities are being detail-oriented, adaptable, and dedicated in everything I do to the point that I am able to persevere through all the hardships that may come before me.
