What impact do you hope to have at WVU in the future?

As a cofounder of Women in Business, I feel that it is important to have a community dedicated to preparing women for success in the workplace, especially in male-dominated fields of study. After I graduate, I hope that the organization continues to grow and develop within the Chambers College to provide a welcoming community to empower women.

What do you wish you had help with in the beginning of your college career?

For me, the most stressful part of freshman year was planning my four-year course plan. I had so many interests that I wanted to pursue in my coursework, and I was already a double-major. On top of that, I wanted to have all of my courses planned out so that I could prepare for my four years at WVU. From that experience, I learned that it is important to find mentors in your major in addition to advisors and professors who can work with you to tailor your curriculum and extracurriculars at WVU to your passions.
