This past semester at Boston College, I was lucky enough to have all in-person classes without masks. Though quite a radical shift from the previous school year, it allowed for a sense of normalcy that I had been yearning for since the beginning of the pandemic. With this, I was able to truly focus on my classes, extracurriculars, and campus life. Most of my course work this semester was focused on completing my majors of Finance and Management Information Systems. While most of my classes were purely academic, I was able to take my first true elective, Ceramics I. This class allowed me to continue building on the wheel throwing skills I had learned at MVRHS and provided me with a much-needed creative outlet for the rigorous semester. Aside from academics, I have continued to play ultimate frisbee and have taken on the role of booking all our scrimmages and tournaments. I have also continued to volunteer in Boston tutoring at the Allston Brighton Community Development Center. In addition to my regular four hours of service every week, I was appointed to the position of organizing the service placement logistics and coordinating volunteers. As my academic studies come to a close, I am happy to announce that I have accepted a job opportunity in Denver, CO following graduation. In the summer of 2022, I will begin working at Protiviti as a Technology Consultant in their Internal Audit and Financial Advisory department. Though at the beginning of college I thought I would never do tech, the Management Information Systems major sparked my passion for software, technology, and problem-solving. As I finish up my education at Boston College, I can truly understand what the gift from MVYouth has done for me. In five months, I will graduate debt-free, have a good job I am passionate about, and be free to explore all life has in store for me. Thank you!
