What did you do in your undergrad to set you up for success in your career?
I think primarily, I went to a liberal arts school. I believe that cross-discipline mentality really helped me exiting college. It makes you look at problems and solutions in a completely different way because you're looking at it from all angles instead of a singular view.
I think one is the people that you meet, like networking. It was extremely important. Not being afraid to reach out. And internships. Did you do all the internships? That's literally how I got my job.
