Beaver Reflections:
I graduated in 2014 and really enjoyed my experience at Beaver. The faculty is so caring, and I’ve made connections with faculty that continued throughout college. Looking back, one of my favorite teachers was Mr. Lippman. I loved his classes and maintained a strong dialogue with him throughout my college career and also after it. I was also able to play multiple sports and participate in various extracurricular activities that piqued different interests.

What is #happeningnow in your life:
After Beaver, I went to Lehigh. I majored in finance and I currently work in Manhattan as a senior credit analyst at Morgan Stanley. I work on leverage, finance, and debt transactions for various companies, specifically focusing on the industrial and transportation sector.

“Beaver opened up a lot of opportunities I wouldn’t have gotten in a public school. It opens up many opportunities inside and outside of the classroom. Having the chance to experience a wide range of classes and activities sets you up nicely once you graduate Beaver and college.”

Advice to Beaver students:
Take advantage of the time where you can try new things. Take advantage of playing a sport even though you aren’t that good at it. Experience new things in middle and high school before you have to be more focused on your career.
