How did your Moravian experience prepare you for your career? 

Working several on campus jobs in addition to playing lacrosse and being in Delta Tau Delta, I learned how to balance a heavy work load and build relationships with diverse groups. 

Share a memorable Moravian moment from when you were a student: 

JAC Fest 2017—The entire campus was filled with students having a good time. It didn’t matter who you were that day. Everybody was friends and proud to be apart of the Moravian community. You would walk out of your dorm and immediately be right in the middle of it all. Every group of students were there commingling. 

Thank You

I would like to thank the Jones family for affording me the opportunity to thrive at Moravian. Being from New Jersey, an out-of-state private school was difficult to afford, but thanks to the generous donation from the Jones family, I was able to have a quality education and have fun doing it.
