**If you could visit any place in the world, where would you choose to go, and why?**

I would have to say Antarctica because it’s truly a unique place and most people don’t get a chance to travel there. I’m sure the views are breathtaking and they have penguins, right? Nothing beats penguins.

**What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday?**

I like to visit one of NYC’s many parks and play tennis on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. In the afternoon, I sometimes head over to the Boat Basin to enjoy lunch on the water with friends.

**What is your favorite seasonal activity?**

I’m a big New England Patriots fan, so I enjoy watching and attending football games in the fall. Go Pats!

**What is your favorite memory from your time at Stern?**

Spring break of my junior year at Stern was one of the most memorable moments of my life. Through the School’s International Studies Program, my classmates and I traveled to Singapore to help develop a business strategy for Singapore Airlines. We also had time to explore the culture of the country and take a day trip to Malaysia. This was my first time visiting Asia and I was surrounded by many of my closest friends. It was truly a unique experience and one that I will never forget.

**Why do you choose to stay engaged with Stern as an alumnus?**

During my time at Stern, I spent a lot of time focused exclusively on school and work-study obligations and didn’t have time to get involved with much else. Because of this, and because I am so thankful to Stern for what it has provided me, I strive to stay involved with the School as an alumnus as much as possible. I hope to work with many undergraduates during my time on the Alumni Council and encourage them to get involved in student clubs, activities, and alumni programs.

**What quote most inspires you?**

“The crowd, having been promised nothing, felt cheated, having received nothing.”
