What inspired you to get involved as a volunteer for Babson?
 I was inspired to volunteer for Babson because of the incredible impact the community had on me as a student. The entrepreneurial spirit, supportive network, and hands-on learning experiences shaped both my personal and professional growth. I wanted to give back to the institution that gave me so much — whether by mentoring students, supporting alumni initiatives, or helping prospective students see the value of a Babson education. It's rewarding to stay connected and contribute to the same culture of innovation and collaboration that helped launch my own journey.

What has been the most rewarding part of your experience as a volunteer for Babson?
The most rewarding part of volunteering for Babson has been seeing the direct impact I can have on students and the broader community — whether it's mentoring a student, speaking with prospective applicants, or helping with alumni initiatives. But honestly, it’s benefited me just as much, if not more. Staying engaged has helped me grow personally and professionally, expand my network, and stay inspired by the creativity and drive of the Babson community. It’s a great reminder of why I chose Babson in the first place and how much it continues to shape my journey.

If you serve in a volunteer leadership role at Babson (e.g. Alumni Club President, Affinity Group, etc.) what motivated you to take on that responsibility?
What motivated me to take on leadership roles with the B.O.L.D. Board and the Babson Alumni Advisory Board was the opportunity to help shape the alumni experience for both recent graduates and the broader Babson community. As a relatively recent alum myself, I understand the unique challenges and transitions that come after graduation, and I wanted to make sure voices from our generation were heard and represented. Serving in these roles has allowed me to advocate for meaningful engagement opportunities, support alumni programming, and help keep the Babson spirit alive beyond campus. It’s a way to give back, but also to stay connected, grow as a leader, and contribute to something bigger than myself.

Why is it important to you to give back?
None of us achieve success alone - it takes a village
