    How Did Le Moyne Prepare You: "Le Moyne provided me with base knowledge in my major classes that allowed me to excel in my particular position. People that were particularly helpful were Dr. Margie Ierlan, John Hunter, and Dr. Martha Grabowski, who all pushed me to my goals and helped me become what I am today."

    How did Le Moyne Change You?: "My time here allowed me to grow as a person, gave me the experience of living away from home and making my own decisions. I was able to become my own person here and become part of things that will impact the rest of my life. I had to learn time management to excel with my grades while still participating in extracurricular activities."

    Activities While a Student?: President of the Investment Club, member of the Human Resource Club, and on the executive board of the Le Moyne Student Programming Board.

    Advice for Future 'Phins: "Push yourself and ask questions. If you aren't sure if you like it or not, try it and see. I would also say to join as many things as you can - that's where some of your best friends and memories will be made outside the classroom."
