​​​​​​​​​Briana Ebie Chapter President

Email: [email protected]​​

I am very excited to serve as President for Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) for the 2023-2024 academic year. I am a first-generation student. My journey to this point has been quite eventful. In 2023, I relocated from Ohio to South Jersey independently and joined Rowan College of South Jersey (RCSJ). This move marked a significant milestone in my academic and personal life. 

Currently, I am a sophomore honors student at RCSJ, with plans to enroll in the 3+1 program. My major is Psychology, and as of right now I plan on pursuing a career as a clinical psychologist. My ultimate goal is to obtain a master's degree in this field, which will enable me to make meaningful contributions to the mental health and well-being of my community and those around me who need it the most by providing support and resources. This has always been important to me, and I hope I can take meaningful action while being presented the opportunity as chapter president for RCSJ. 

In addition to my academic pursuits, I prioritize staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy running and weightlifting, which help me stay physically fit and mentally sharp. Reading is another one of my passions, providing me with both knowledge and relaxation. 

Overall, I am committed to my educational journey and personal growth, and I am honored to lead PTK as we strive for excellence and community service and to help all students enrolled.
