What did you do in undergrad to set yourself up for success in your career?
Looking back at my college years, I would say I was really open to talking to professors and upperclassmen. I wanted to hear their experiences and apply what I could to my career path.
I've been fortunate to have a lot of mentors in my life. Being open to learning from people has really helped me in my career.
