  • “The most valuable thing I learned at Washington College was adaptability, personally and career-wise. I started freshman year with baseball as an absolute priority, and then things shifted and people helped to foster that. Then with COVID-19, there were two years where everything was completely thrown off and learning to keep moving and keep your goals in mind was something I experienced at Washington College and can continue through the rest of my life.”
