Was business always a path you thought you’d take? Why? If not, tell us the story of what you imagined majoring in at college and how you ended up at Chambers College.-
Business was not always a path I thought I’d take. I came to WVU majoring in
Sports and Adventure Media thanks to my involvement with broadcast journalism
in high school combined with my love for sports. I eventually found my home
within the business school after many conversations with Dr. Cook! She has
been an outstanding influence for me and I couldn’t be more grateful to be
enrolled in the Marketing program!

One thing I found difficult upon arriving at WVU was creating new friendships.
Coming from New York, I didn’t know many people locally. One thing that helped
me was WVU’s targeted effort to get freshmen involved. There were so many opportunities
and events at the beginning of my freshman year, and I was able to meet a lot
of my close friends to this day!

I hope to create a long-lasting impact at West Virginia University. I’d like
to achieve this through the student organizations I’m involved with as well
as the relationships I’m able to create with the amazing staff at WVU!
