What was your most memorable moment or time at F&M?
Living in Weis College House. When I reflect on my years at F&M, I don't imagine one moment, but all the moments that made up my College House experience. That is where I met my best friends, and where I made all the memories that collectively represent my college experience.
What did you enjoy most about the College?
The collaborative atmosphere between my peers and professors. I have taken many classes that were quite small, which provided a comfortable class environment and led to engaging discussions.
What are your plans for after graduation?
This summer I'll be an intern at a law firm in Harrisburg, and in the fall I will attend Duke University School of Law.
