2. What planned and unplanned events connected you to your industry and your first employer after Holy Cross? How did you learn\/decide it was a good fit for you? <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

While at Holy Cross, I<\/span>\u00a0tutored through SPUD at Burncoat Elementary School and knew that I enjoyed working with students. I was also inspired by the mission of Teach for America and its connection to the Jesuit idea of being \u201cmen and women for others\u201d.\u00a0<\/span>I met with the TFA representative when he visited campus in the fall of my senior year, and decided to apply.<\/span>\u00a0Immediately following graduation,\u00a0I taught for two years at an elementary school in rural North Carolina through the Teach for America program.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

While at HC, I participated in SPUD, Purple Key Society and student government.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

4. What was your major and how did it affect your career decisions? <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I majored in History and minored in Art History. I loved both History and Art History, and think both subjects honed my interest in reading, writing and learning, and I wanted to bring that love to the classroom when I taught. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

5. What are one or two skills that you developed at Holy Cross that you use in your work? <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

After teaching, I became the founding principal of Brooke East Boston. The two skills perhaps I used most as a teacher and school leader <\/span>were critical thinking\u00a0<\/span>and communicating- and both I developed while at Holy Cross.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. What advice do you have for students on campus today? <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

You have all been given the incredible gift of a Holy Cross education- soak in every part of it: listen critically and try your best in your classes, be open to new opportunities and let yourself make life long friends!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
