Meghan Sawyer - Colgate University

What an eventful year! Last May I graduated from Colgate University with a degree in Mathematical Economics. I still cannot believe how quickly the years flew by. I remember my freshman year when I first arrived at Colgate, it was an adjustment. Being away from home for the first time, I was scared, nervous, but excited for what was ahead. Four years later at graduation, I couldn’t help but feel as I did when I arrived. I was scared of leaving behind the wonderful people and places I’ve come to know so well, nervous about what comes next, but excited about all the possibilities the future holds. I came home, unpacked my bags and thought to myself, “Ok, now what?”. I had an incredible summer on the island while I was on the job hunt. Luckily, after a few months I landed a job at an amazing company, and in August I moved to Boston and started my new position. I currently work at Edelstein & Company, a public accounting firm located in Boston’s financial district. I am an associate in the Healthcare department, so I do work for different medical practices and physicians. Since starting I love my job and I love the amazing people I’ve met at Edelstein. Living in Boston has been a dream. I've been exploring all over the city, and I can't wait to continue getting to know Boston. I’ve done a lot of growing since that day when I first arrived at Colgate, and I want to thank MVYouth for supporting me all throughout undergrad.
