Why did you choose to attend F&M?

I chose to attend F&M because of its strong emphasis on close student-faculty relationships, its rigorous academic programs, and the supportive community. The small class sizes and the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions with professors and peers made F&M the perfect place for me to grow both intellectually and personally.

What is something that you did for fun at F&M?

I enjoyed F&M’s annual Halloween trips to Hershey Park, organized by the College Entertainment Committee (CEC).

What did you enjoy most about your time at the College?

The relationships I built—with both my professors and my peers—have been the most meaningful part of my time at F&M. The mentorship and guidance from faculty have helped shape my academic and professional journey, while the friendships I’ve made here will last a lifetime.

What are your plans for after graduation?

I’ll be pursuing a master of science degree in sustainability management at Columbia University.

What brief advice would you give to incoming students in F&M’s Class of 2029?

Embrace every opportunity that comes your way, and don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. Some of the most rewarding experiences come from taking risks and trying something new.
