Dublin School was instrumental in providing me an excellent college preparatory foundation, which allowed me to excel in my undergraduate studies at Boston University and in my graduate degree from Tufts University. After a 30+ year career as a college administrator, directing Career Centers at Tufts' Fletcher School, Boston University's Questrom School of Business, The Wharton School at UPENN, and The Anderson Graduate School of Management at the University of California - Riverside, I have retired and enjoy living in the Williamsburg, VA, area. Without Dublin, I would not have had such an interesting and rewarding career. Thank you to all the staff and faculty at Dublin School who create such a unique learning environment!
