Plans post-graduation?

I’m currently interning for Amazon in London as a business analyst. Once I complete my internship, I’ll return to Arlington to continue working full-time as a business analyst.

What drew you to Marymount and what has your overall experience been like on campus?

The location was the first thing that drew me to Marymount, and once I set foot on campus, I felt comfortable because of the small school environment. I made the right choice by coming to Marymount because I’ve been able to get a great education, play NCAA Division III soccer on the Marymount Men’s Soccer team, make amazing connections and find a job at one of the best companies in the world.

What is your favorite thing about Marymount?

My favorite thing about Marymount is the connections I’ve made. Not just the friends I’ve made on the field and in the classroom, but the faculty and staff with whom I’ve been able to create bonds. They have helped me tremendously in getting to where I am today.

How has Marymount helped you grow as a person?

The person I was when I started at Marymount would be proud of who I am today. Living away from home has made me a more responsible and mature person. My major has given me the knowledge and technical skills needed to enter my field of interest. One of the most important things Marymount has taught me is how to network, which has helped my career development. I can’t thank the school enough for what it’s done for me.
