Why I Chose Colby: "I choose Colby because I wanted to pursue collegiate baseball while getting a unique, liberal arts experience. Colby stood out to me among the NESCACs because of the close knit community on and off the field in addition to the strong liberal arts curriculum. I also was drawn to the strong Economics and Government departments as I was very interested in these majors coming out of high school.
Internship/Work Experience: Interned at a market research company analyzing financial records of clients, Interned at a private equity real estate shop in Orlando, Fla. conducting analysis of a mixed use condo and resort acquisition, attended the Tuck Business Bridge at Dartmouth College, investment management intern at Morningstar in Chicago analyzing US mutual funds and derivatives
Major: Economics, Financial Markets and Government
Favorite Place on Campus: Coombs Field
Most Memorable Team Experience: "My most memorable baseball experience was when we had a walk-off win against a top team that put us 6-0 to start the season in Florida. It was my favorite memory playing for Colby as everyone contributed to the win when their name was called and ultimately showed how our hard work in pre-season payed off."
Plans After Colby: "After Colby, I will be working for PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in New York City. I will be a management consultant in the Consumer Finance Group. I also hope to continue playing baseball in an adult league and pickup basketball as well."
