My current occupation is...

I'm currently a full-time graduate student at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. My program is a Masters of Education in College Student Personnel Administration but I also hold a Graduate Assistant position in the Pre-Medical Center at Canisius as an adviser. I enjoy working in higher education with college students.

What did you treasure most about your experience at Grove City College?

When I was in the darkest time of my life, I was surrounded by people who not only encouraged me in love but also held fast to the everlasting truth of God. Grove City College and the people on campus were God's tools in my life to craft me into the man I am today so that I might make the same impact in the lives of others.

Who was your greatest influence or mentor as a student and why?

I would say that Dr. Stanton, the Chair of the Political Science Department, had the most influence as my mentor. He was a straight-shooter and not afraid to hold me to a higher standard as a student, thinker, and man. His passion for students was evident in our interactions and his unwavering expectations for my academic and personal conduct propelled me forward.

How did Grove City College prepare you for life after college?

The education I received was more than just books and lectures. The College as a whole instilled in me a deeper understanding of God's truth and how it relates to this world. Of course, the skills and abilities needed to succeed (communication, critical thinking, and analysis) were taught in all aspects of my degree but also the personal interactions I had.
