Beaver Reflections:
I graduated from Beaver in 2006 and I had a fantastic experience. When you are at Beaver you realize what an amazing school it is but it is not until post college, post graduate school that you really realize the impact Beaver has on you. Looking back, I now understand how influential my Beaver education was in that we were learning and not just memorizing. Teachers at Beaver are leaders in education and the way they taught history has had a lasting impact on how I see the world. A memorable experience was taking a psychology course junior year and then being able to help teach it during my senior year as an independent study. I ended up being a psychology major in college because of that.

What is #happeningnow in your life:
After graduating from college, I went to Babson to get my MBA. It was amazing to learn about the entrepreneurial side of things and I still keep in contact with friends from Beaver regarding startups and various ideas. Following my time at Babson, I have worked at a few different businesses in the technology sector. Currently, I work for Yesware, a sales productivity platform, as a senior product manager.

“Beaver gave me an incredible global perspective and taught me how to think through problems and solutions. Beaver taught me to question things and be curious.”
