After college, I want to...
I would love to work for a small marketing agency or advertising firm - or continue with the web design business I've started!
My current occupation is...
I am a Marketing and Administrative Associate at DTC, Inc. DTC is a dental IT services company located in Fallston, MD. I was brought on to help with administrative tasks as well as build and track marketing campaigns, generate sales leads, and keep their website and social media profiles updated with relevant content.
How did Grove City College prepare you for life after college?
Something special about GCC is that the classes really set you into a habit of constantly wanting to pursue knowledge. Papers and reading assignments sound like a drag when you're forced to do them, but once those stop looming overhead you realize how valuable regularly learning new things is. I am so excited to have graduated and have time to pursue topics that interest me outside of classes - this mindset is going to help me be successful at my job as well as continue to expand my knowledge of the world around me.
When I was looking for a college, I wish I had been told...
It's okay to be unsure of what to major in! I ended up switching my major twice before I figured out what I wanted to do - and it's easy to change your major if you schedule your classes carefully.
