Why did you chose Walsh?

I was drawn to Walsh because of the University's diverse offerings and student-teacher ratio.  Thanks to the attention of faculty and staff, I was driven to achieve academic and personal success.

Describe briefly what you do in your current job:

I was very fortunate to transition from a marketing internship to a full-time position with my company.

How did Walsh prepare you for your current job?

My business education not only taught me how to work collaboratively with professionals from varying departments and industries, but it also helped to prepare me for the ever-changing world of work.  The Honors Program also helped to prepare me, as it taught me self-discipline and encouraged a global perspective, which is valuable in the world economy.  It was a transformational program that demanded my best - great preparation for the "real world".

What advice would you give to someone who is considering attending Walsh University?

Make the most of the college experience.  Take responsibility for your own education and advancement.
