Describe your college experience

I have had a great time at Florida State University! I lived on campus my freshman year and met so many people that I am still very close with. We have a lot of fun in Tallahassee, but I have also learned a ton from my professors not just about the subjects, but about how to be a better student, person, and how to prepare for a career and life after college.

Tip for future students

Be willing to try new things and meet new people! Everyone is in the same boat as you when getting to college and reaching out and socializing will make that transition so much easier!

Favorite class

Professional Selling has been my favorite class. The professor Chuck Viosca takes you out of your comfort zone and really prepares you for the real world. From having to do cold calls, elevator pitches, and full on sales meetings to going to career fairs on campus, the class really gave me a great wealth of knowledge and helped boost my confidence in a professional setting.

Career goals

I hope to move back to Jacksonville and work either in Sales or in a direct Marketing role ideally doing digital Marketing.

Ideal way to spend a free night

An ideal free night for me is going to the Student Union with my friends and playing a couple games of pool or going bowling.
