What was your most memorable moment or time at F&M?
It was my sophomore year playing football, when we upset eighth-ranked Johns Hopkins at home on Sponaugle-Williamson Field. I'm a receiver and return specialist and I had a touchdown in that game. We made the national NCAA headlines.
What did you enjoy most about the College?
The great amount of education and the life experiences that I gained, as well as meeting new people and creating friendships that will last long after graduation.
What are your plans for after graduation?
As a first-year student I started as a teller at Fulton Bank, and then transitioned to their financial advisory practice for a year before I took an internship with Mass Mutual as a financial adviser. After graduation, I immediately start full time with Public Financial Management as a portfolio trader.
