What was your time like as a student at Simon?

Simon had its own little bubble, and I enjoyed trying to expand beyond my Simon circle of friends to explore the rest of the University and what it had to offer. I have a lot of good memories of student events, Yellowjacket basketball games, Eastman concerts, and other happenings around campus.

How did your experience at the University of Rochester influence your life?

The Simon education helped me round out my business education and many skills I learned at Simon became a part of my daily work life. “Meliora” has also become something of a credo in my life.

What made you want to become part of the Boston Network Leadership Council?

I wanted to see more Simon events in the Boston-area and was interested in collaborating with the council on events that have cross-appeal, such as volunteer events. I was added to the Network Leadership Council as a next step to bring the Simon perspective. Now I’m excited to represent the whole University of Rochester alumni base!

What’s the most rewarding part of staying connected with your alma mater?

I always thought we had such friendly and caring students when I attended, and I see those same characteristics reflected in the alumni community. Everyone is generally very kind and easy to talk to.

What advice do you have for others looking to get involved?

Just give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised!
