Beaver Reflections:
I graduated from Beaver in 2005. I was a transfer student and came in during sophomore year because I was recruited to play soccer and lacrosse. During my time at Beaver, I was captain of both of those teams and had a wonderful time bonding with my teammates and coaches while polishing and working on my leadership skills. Looking back, Mr. Gao and Mr. Adjout were the two most influential teachers for me. Mr. Gao was always a fantastic teacher when it came to critical thinking and using what we learned to apply it to real life. Mr. Adjout always had a sense of humor when he taught. Even though I was not the best French student, he always was uplifting and positive in the classroom.

What is #happeningnow in your life:
After graduating from Beaver, I was recruited to play lacrosse at Babson College. I played all 4 years there and was captain of the team as well. I am proud to say that I am one of Babson’s career leaders in goals and points! After graduating from Babson, I knew I would need to get surgery done on my leg because of injuries I suffered throughout college. Therefore, I started my professional career the year after I graduated because of rehab and basically learning how to walk again! Once I was healed, I started at an investment firm in human resources, but my career took a turn and I went into sales. Now, I work for Cigna Healthcare, a national health insurance carrier. I am a Senior New Business Manager and deal with the New England area.
