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.

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!

What did you treasure most about your experience at Grove City College?

It sounds so cliche, but the friends I have made while at GCC have been amazing. I know that we will continue to be friends well past graduation, and there's something so special about relationships like that. Also, getting involved in the InterVarsity chapter on campus definitely helped round out my college experience - I was able to go on some awesome trips and attend conferences that completely changed my perspective on the global Christian faith. I met most of my current friends through InterVarsity, so I'd say it played a major part in shaping the experience I've had at GCC.

Who was your greatest influence or mentor as a student and why?

Professor Sweet in the Entrepreneurship department! He helped me discover my passion for digital marketing after I changed my major before my sophomore year. He has been an immense help to me during my job search process - I certainly would not have pushed myself to pursue a career in digital marketing if I hadn't taken some of Professor Sweet's classes and discovered how much I love it.
