Hello, Amstat News readers! My name is Sabina Schlichtmann, the new meetings coordinator, and I am excited to share a bit about myself with you. Born and raised in the vibrant city of Lima, Peru, I embarked on a new chapter when I came to the United States with my family at the age of 21. We settled in New Jersey but moved around for a bit between Passaic County and Bergen County. I also moved to Fairfax to spend some time with a cousin, so I’m not new to the DMV.
Driven by a sense of adventure and desire to serve, I made the decision to join the military. From 2017 to 2020, I proudly served in the United States Marine Corps, where I gained invaluable experiences and developed skills that would shape my future. I was stationed in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
I was eager to expand my knowledge and pursue my academic aspirations, so I enrolled at the University of Maryland Global Campus to pursue a bachelor’s degree in business administration. With 100 credits already completed, I find myself inching closer to the finish line, motivated to achieve my educational goals.
In my free time, I enjoy engaging in activities that keep me active and refreshed. Walking is a simple pleasure that allows me to explore my surroundings, clear my mind, and appreciate the beauty of nature. Maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle is important to me, and that includes regular workouts. Whether it’s hitting the gym or engaging in outdoor activities, I find physical exercise not only keeps me fit but also provides a sense of accomplishment and mental clarity.
I also love traveling to see new places. I have been to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, and Cancun, Mexico. I will go to Switzerland for a cousin’s wedding this summer. I am excited, as this will be my first trip to Europe and I’m looking forward to all the new experiences there.
As I share my journey with you, I hope to inspire you to embrace new experiences, pursue your passions, and strive for personal growth. I am grateful for the opportunities that have come my way and excited to see what the future holds. I have enjoyed my time at the ASA so far and look forward to attending our annual conference in Toronto, Canada.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better. I look forward to connecting with all of you and learning from the diverse perspectives and insights within the ASA community.
