Degree: B.S. in Business Administration

How did the Stamps Scholarship help shape your undergraduate experience?
The Stamps Scholarship gave me the tools and opportunities to explore the world through numerous study abroad experiences organized by my major, my minor, and my school’s Stamps program. I was able to study/intern in Eastern Europe, in Hong Kong/Shenzhen, and in South Africa.

Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your freshman self?
I would tell myself to take advantage of opportunities outside of my comfort zone and to not be afraid give back.

Who has had the greatest impact on you throughout your college career and how so?
I would say the Denning Technology and Management Program (which ran my Engineering and Business Minor) as a whole had the greatest impact. Through the program, I was able to take interdisciplinary classes that taught me the skills needed to differentiate myself when going for interviews and job searches. I would not have gotten my two internships and full-time job without it.

What comes next?
I will be working as a Finance Analyst at Microsoft in Seattle starting in September!
