Beaver Reflections:
Overall, Beaver was a fantastic community. I came in as a freshman and played soccer and lacrosse throughout high school. Beaver was a great place to be heard and I felt like I could take the lessons I learned from Beaver and use them throughout my life. Mr. McKinney was my soccer coach for all four years and played such an important role in my life on the field and in the classroom as well.

What is #happeningnow in your life:
For the past 10 years, I have worked at Insider, Inc., a global digital media organization. I started there when it was a startup with just 50 employees and has now grown to 800! I have been working virtually over the past months running sales for the Northeast part of the company. I used to travel a lot for my work and this is the first time in my life where I can spend even more quality time with my family, put my children to bed every night, and enjoy meals with them which has been so amazing. We have never had this much time together as a family. It is something that I’ll cherish forever.

Advice to current Beaver students:
You have to have a lot of grit. I think that people think that things should be easier than they are but in reality, life is hard and you need to have a lot of perseverance.
