What advice would you give to a student looking to major in a business-related field? “Be careful not to narrow yourself to one career path. In the field of business, there is so much opportunity to fulfill your dreams and passions. However, these dreams can often be suffocated by more profitable fields, bigger names, or having to live up to what others expect of you. Do what makes you happy, what fulfills your craving for life, and see that take you to new heights.”

What advice would you give to a student looking to major in a business-related field? “Think big and get curious about the different opportunities available in the business field. Having a business degree can translate into a variety of careers, so the more open-minded you are going into new experiences, the better. I have tried to approach every class with a desire to learn and let the professor’s passion and subject matter expertise guide my experience. In approaching classes with a growth mindset, you are opening yourself up to the ample opportunities to learn and apply practical skills, regardless of its perceived relevance to your professional goals.”
