Beaver Reflections:
I graduated in 2015 and really enjoyed my time at Beaver. Beaver gave me the opportunity to experiment and try different things, and also gave me the chance to pursue what really interested me. NuVu had a huge impact on me. At NuVu, I loved having the freedom to complete projects that you may not do in a typical classroom setting. Looking back, I also enjoyed participating in Model UN and am grateful that the club really helped my public speaking. One of my favorite teachers was Mr. Rilla who really helped me push and develop my writing skills.

What is #happeningnow in your life:
After graduating from Beaver, I did a four-year bachelor’s degree at Brown studying computer science then I completed my master’s in May of 2020. Recently, I have been working at a company called Cognex that does a lot of computer vision and robotics stuff related to warehouses. Amazon and Walmart are big customers. We make sure the warehouse is efficient. We also make sure all the packages are in good enough condition to be shipped off and automatically reroute broken boxes. It’s a lot of fun.

“It is okay to ask for help. Especially in these times, some people may need extra support and it is 100% okay to ask for assistance.”

Advice to Beaver students:
Make sure to continue networking, talking to others, and making connections. You never know when you may need to call on someone from your past for assistance
