What was your most memorable moment or time at F&M?
It's hard to pick just one moment, but if I had to pick a span of time, it would be my senior year. From serving as treasurer of Diplomatic Congress to exploring new restaurants downtown, I feel this year I was able to make a difference and give back to a place that has given so much to me -- and eat well along the way.
What did you enjoy most about the College?
I'd say the wide range of opportunities to become involved -- starting in my first semester. It was an incredible experience and a great supplement to my liberal arts education. I only had four years here, but I can walk away at graduation knowing I made the most of my time.
What are your plans for after graduation?
I plan on moving to New York City. Hopefully by the time you are reading this I'll have a job in advertising there. If not, well, any help would be appreciated!
