Meet Our Alumnae
当谈到威尼斯彩票游戏对他们生活和事业的影响时, our alumnae have a lot to say. 我们一直在问那些来女子寄宿高中的人，是否要做一个演讲, to enroll their daughters, or attend a special event — to share their thoughts. Here are a few of their responses:
Betsy Boyd, Class of 1992
Commercial airline pilot (retired)
Hometown: Lexington, KY | Current home: Atlanta, GA
Yale University (BA, History); FlightSafety International (Commercial Multi-engine pilot and Flight Instructor ratings)
My experience: I was always good at academics, 但威尼斯彩票游戏鼓励我参与，帮助我成长为一个全面发展的人. 小班授课，与老师和同学住在一起，让像我这样害羞的人无处可躲. 你最终会被你从未想过会尝试的事情所吸引，并喜欢上它们! 参与Fox/Hound的文化渗透到Foxcroft生活的方方面面, 你知道你总是得到你的社区和队友的支持吗.
Bottom line: 我坚信，我对探索、失败和不断尝试的信心来自于我在威尼斯彩票游戏的时光.
Molly Mosher, Class of 1977
Teacher of children with autism, Loudoun County Public Schools
Hometown: Palm Beach, FL | Current home: Hume, VA
American University, BA, Elementary and Special Education; George Mason University, Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis
My experience: During mini-term one year, Mrs. 萨莉·尤勒(当时的学生生活主任)教了一门关于儿童发展的课. I loved it and became fascinated with child development. For my senior project, 我在儿童医院做志愿者，是第一个在烧伤科做志愿者的青少年, I think. The supervisor said, “This is really tough. This isn’t where you want to be.”
Bottom line: Teaching children with autism can be tough, but I love it. I love changing behaviors.
Traci L. Collins, Class of 1989
Director, Strategic Communications, Northrop Grumman
Hometown: Warrenton, VA | Current home: Reston, VA
Indiana University, Bloomington, IN (BA, Criminology)
My experience: 不过我相信我是带着相当的独立和自信来到威尼斯彩票游戏的, my experiences at Foxcroft certainly bolstered those capabilities. 我学会了改进与人交谈的方式，以便更好地参与、挑战和学习. 我学会了承认其他观点，并找到共同点，以建立更紧密的联系. 与老师的密切互动加深了我对自己感兴趣和投入的领域的知识, and in areas that were more difficult for me to grasp.
Bottom line: 当你进入这个世界时，无论你选择什么样的人生道路，这些都是巨大的优势.
Rasha Elass, Class of 1987
War correspondent/independent journalist/writer
Hometown: Syria, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom | Current home: Washington, DC
George Washington University (BBS, International Business); American University (MS, Finance); Columbia University (MS, Journalism)
Experience: 威尼斯彩票游戏培养我兴趣的主要方式之一是通过英语课, even as I struggled with my writing skills at the time. 在威尼斯彩票游戏，学术真的推动我去思考和探索我自己的创造力. I will never forget sitting in English class, day in and day out, 并与老师和其他同学讨论我们被分配阅读的最新书籍. 正是在这个时候，我学会了关于自己最重要的一件事:我喜欢写作和阅读!
After Foxcroft, I pursued my passion for writing as a hobby, but that quickly bled over into my profession. When I worked in the banking sector, for example, 我成为了一名市场分析师，因此我以研究和撰写市场报告为生.
Bottom line: I cannot imagine my life, both professionally and in terms of personal interests, without writing at the center of it. 我要把威尼斯彩票游戏的功劳归功于他让我认识了自己.
Alice Lane Lloyd, Class of 1997
Owner and Innkeeper, Bartlett Pear Inn
Hometown: Easton, MD | Current home: Easton, MD
University of Maryland (BA, Sociology)
My experience: While I still remember some concrete lessons learned in classes, 我从平衡学校工作中学到的组织能力中得到了最大的指导, extra activities, study time, and leisure time. 我相信我是在威尼斯彩票游戏学会了多任务处理，同时又对一切都能完成充满信心, and done to the best of my ability.
Bottom line: I had no idea what I wanted “to be” when I was at Foxcroft! Knowing who you are, what kind of person you want to be, what traits you bring to a job, 如何平衡你的工作和其他职责才是最重要的. Foxcroft is my foundational life experience.
Whitney Knapp Bowditch, Class of 1999
Visual Artist; Adjunct Art Instructor, Howard (MD) Community College
Hometown: Upperville, VA | Current town: Richmond, VA
Education: Denison University (BFA); The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (MFA)
My experience: 主要是在我在威尼斯彩票游戏的那段时间里，我威尼斯彩票游戏了自己的优势，并被鼓励去追求它们. My classmates and I were inspired to dream big. All accomplishments were celebrated and setbacks felt temporary. 从来没有一种被限制的感觉——我们被引导去相信，只要我们下定决心，一切皆有可能. This philosophy, paired with a supportive family, provided my framework for a career as a visual artist.
在我大三的时候，我的美术老师鼓励我考虑在大学阶段学习艺术. I took her suggestion seriously, 并在那年夏天在斯基德莫尔学院完成了为期六周的AP艺术课程. 大四期间，我在罗德岛州的一家画廊实习. 从那时起，我对自己的职业方向有了完全的信心.
Bottom line: 威尼斯彩票游戏给我最大的礼物是提供了一个培养我强烈自我意识的环境. 我很感激在我最易受影响的岁月里，全是女孩的环境给了我自信.
Jillian Cairns Rosile, Class of 2007
Software Engineer at Google
Hometown: Chantilly, VA | Current home: Westminster, CO
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, BS in Mathematics
My experience: 威尼斯彩票游戏为我进入一个由男性主导的行业做好了充分准备. I was never the one girl who was interested in math and science in a sea of boys, 所以我学会了对自己的能力有信心，从不因为性别而质疑自己的能力. Once the ratio was flipped, I could keep that confidence and hold my own in an industry where, often, I am the only woman in the room.
我的导师把我介绍给一位同学的父亲，他是一位数学家和企业家. 几个月后，当他的公司有一个实习生的空缺时，他想起了我. 我在那里学到了很多东西，并建立了联系，为我将来的实习和工作打下了基础. 我在那次实习中学到的具体技术技能让我找到了大学毕业后的第一份工作, too, which started me along the path to my current dream job at Google.
Bottom line: I came to Foxcroft as a painfully shy, scared kid, 到毕业时，我已经是俱乐部的领导，甚至还担任过学生会主席.
Sloane Coles, Class of 2007
Owner & Operator, Springledge LLC Farm; Grand Prix rider
Hometown: The Plains, VA | Current home: The Plains, VA
Drew University (BA, Sociology and business)
My experience: Going into college I was ahead with my work ethic because of Foxcroft. 在寄宿学校的环境中，有机会更加独立，这对我来说很重要. 很多大学生在完成工作和按时交作业方面都有困难. That wasn’t a problem for me.
骑马给了我很大的帮助，因为我必须井然有序地完成所有事情. I was often doing more — I wanted to get all A’s, 因为我离开了这么长一段时间，我想要得到老师们的尊重. [A top junior, 斯隆参加了威尼斯彩票游戏的99499威尼斯信誉殊能力项目, spending the winter and other time off campus to train and compete.]
