Marketing

A Marketing Senior, originally from New York.

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!
What is something you’ve failed or found difficult and overcame? What helped?
  • 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!
What impact do you hope to have at WVU in the future?
  • 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!
