What was your most memorable CGS experience?
The most memorable CGS experience I had was becoming a CGS Dean’s Host — being able to represent the school through different events and getting to know people who are applying to the school. I like to help others figure out what they want to do when applying to the school, what would be best for them.
What are some of your extra-curricular activities?
I’m on the men’s rowing team at Boston University. That’s definitely one of the biggest extracurricular activities I have here at the school. It keeps me very occupied, organized, and diligent. I always have something to do at every point in the day.
What is your favorite place in Boston?
My favorite place to go in Boston is Tasty Burger. I hope my coaches aren’t seeing this right now, but you know.
What is your dream job?
My dream job is to own my own firm. I know it’s not something I’m going to do right out of college– it’s going take a lot of time to build up that kind of stature in life to have your own business– but I hope someday that I’ll be able to do so.
If you could give one tip to an incoming freshman, what would it be?
Just be yourself and get to know people. I think one of the biggest things here at the College of General Studies and Boston University in general is you have to get out of your comfort zone, be yourself, and don’t feel that you have to be pushed into one personality or be someone that you’re not. In college you can be who you are.
Tell us something fun about yourself!
Both of my parents went to Boston University. They both met in their schools. My mom was an engineer, my dad was an engineer, and they got married in the undergrad school. They found love and ended up doing graduate school here as well. BU is in my blood.
