What did you do in undergrad to set you up for success in your career?
"Man, I honestly think just enjoying my classes, my core classes, and being around really smart and really good people was by far the best decision ever made. My roommates were extremely smart.
They all had it pretty prepared going out of college. They killed it in school, had good grades, and overall really thrived. I think just being around people who knew what they were doing, or at least were very confident in what they were doing, was probably the best thing I did in my entire life.
Hands down, the people at Cal Poly are all amazing, and I definitely found a group that was perfect for me. I was very lucky to have that. I think just really enjoying my time at Cal Poly and making the most of it was the right step forward.
I came out of Cal Poly with a very good attitude. I was very happy with my experience, I loved it there. I met people that would help me find my job in the future and would help me pretty much every step of the way. So I'd definitely say, find the right people at Cal Poly 'cause they're everywhere, they're all there, they'll help you out."
