Beaver Reflections:
I came to Beaver in 7th grade and I had a great experience. The teachers were really engaging and they made sure all the students succeeded. One of the teachers I really loved was Peter Brooks in the art department – he really helped me blossom my creativity and learn with different materials. As a whole, Beaver faculty do such a good job breaking things down and making sure you understand the subject, and how to find the resources you need, which set me up for college.”
What is #happeningnow in your life:
After college, I came back to Boston to work for a technology start-up. I did marketing for them for 5 years and learned a lot working with a small team. After that, I got my MBA at Emory and now live in New Jersey working for Bayer in brand management.
