Beaver Reflections:
I graduated from Beaver in 2005 and started in 6th grade, making me a lifer. I loved it and am still in touch with a lot of my classmates. I played soccer and baseball at Beaver and loved the team environment. Looking back, Mr. Goldberger was my biggest advocate on the faculty staff. He was an amazing advisor and math teacher. He was a great guy and had an amazing sense of humor all while giving great advice. Mr. MacDonald was also invaluable, especially when helping me grow as a student.

What is #happeningnow in your life:
After I graduated from Beaver, I went to Syracuse. My best friend from Beaver also went there, and we were roommates for three years during college. After Syracuse I went to law school at Northeastern. Following that, I started in the Suffolk County DA office where I worked for around four years. After that, I went to Dorchester District court and then went downtown until about 2017. Since then, I have moved into private practice and work for a firm called Tucker, Dyer & O’Connell doing primarily civil litigation. This will be my fourth year working there. The past year-plus with Covid-19 has been trial and error with my family, especially juggling things happening at home with our kids along with my career and the legal world being flipped on its head. Thankfully, we have realized that at work most of the things we do in-person could also be accomplished over the phone, Zoom, Microsoft Office, etc.

“Beaver is such a strong and nurturing environment that is genuinely interested in the individual students’ growth and achieving success beyond middle and high school.”
