How did you decide on your major?
I knew I wanted to be a Political Science major coming into school because I've always been extremely interested in politics...I've worked on campaigns since I was very young. I decided to add the HR major because I wanted to have a business background. My mom works in HR and she really enjoys what she does...I thought I'd give it a try and ended up really enjoying it!
What has been the best experience of college for you?
Getting involved and taking advantage of the opportunities made available to me. Not only have a met a ton of new and different types of people, but I've also gained experiences and that have set me apart from my peers, such as having leadership skills, public speaking skills, and internship experience.
Any words of wisdom for students deciding on a career?
Do what you love and are interested in and START EARLY. I knew that my options were limited with only a Political Science major so instead of just dropping it I added another. Politics are my passion, but business will be my career...if I'm lucky I will find something that incorporates both!
