Quotes:
“Having a Liberal and Fine Arts degree myself (Psychology), I understand the diverse nature of the majors in this college and I also understand the opportunities I had with a Liberal and Fine Arts degree and I think its important that students in this college understand all that they can do with their degrees.”
“I want to model to my students what I have encouraged them to do on a day-to-day basis, which is to obtain an internship and gain practical/work experience in their concentration area. Through my internship at the University Career Center, I began to witness the tangible outcomes of career counseling and my confidence in pursuing a career in this field has been reaffirmed.”
