Favorite part of competing at Brandeis: Representing and improving on a legacy left for me by others. 

Favorite athletic moment: Assisting the opening goal in an NCAA Final Four game in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Favorite class: Behavioral Neuroscience with Don Katz because it pushed me to embrace a field (Neuroscience) that I've always run away from and exposed me to a type of learning that I hadn't experienced before.

Favorite place on campus outside of Gosman: Can't give that away! There's a bunch of hidden gems on campus.

Favorite summer opportunity: Working in the front office at Celtic Football Club, Scotland's most famous and successful club. I've had other internships at a political firm, a marketing agency, and now at a tech start up--but my time In Scotland was definitely the most memorable.

Thing I'll miss most about Brandeis: Winning games on Gordon Field.

Something unexpected I learned at Brandeis: I learned a lot in school but my most significant development has been the amount I learned about myself.

Favorite Quote: "The only thing we are really sure of is that we live and want to go on living. This is something that we share with everything that lives, from elephants to blades of grass, and, of course, every human being. We are brothers and sisters to all living things, and owe all of them the same care and respect that we wish for ourselves." --Albert Schweitzer
