Beaver Reflections:
I graduated from Beaver in 2010 and my experience was amazing. I was very involved with sports while there so the team aspect, practices, games, and fostering leadership skills were all very important to me. I played soccer and basketball while there, but soccer was the sport where I really grew the most maturity-wise and skill-wise. Academically, Beaver was the only school where I could imagine receiving as much support as I did. The classes I took at Beaver were also some classes I took at college, which goes to show how much Beaver prepares you for college and the type of material one may learn there. Looking back, I loved Mr. McKinney and Mr. Gould as they both cared a lot about what they were doing inside the classroom, in Mr. McKinney’s case, and on the soccer field for Mr. Gould’s situation.
What is #happeningnow in your life:
I went to Roanoke College for four years and proceeded to jump right into sales at the Ritz-Carlton post graduation. I was there for about nine months and then decided to move to New York City where I started working for the Food Bank For New York City. I help with the fundraising side of things and deal with VIP engagement. I love it and have been there for 5 years. I permanently moved back to Boston last March, right when Covid hit, and have been working remotely since. I recently got engaged and moved in with my fiancé so life has been busy!
“I really loved being a part of a small class and having the opportunity to know everyone you are graduating with. There was so much going on at Beaver, not to the point where you can feel lost, but rather a great feeling of an exciting and up-and-running school.”

Advice to Beaver students:
As much as being social and studying for your tests and exams are important, getting involved with clubs, activities, and extracurriculars is also crucial. There are so many opportunities for you to become involved that can have a huge impact on you in the future, even though you may not realize it now!
