What did you do in undergrad that set you up for success in your career?
Something that I think I did in undergrad that set me up for success in my career later on, I didn't know it at the time, but going to an undergrad institution that was more of an engineering school really set me up for success. Even though I was a humanities major, I had to get comfortable with science, math, and engineering.
This has been especially helpful in my career, particularly working in a somewhat technical role in analytics. It's made me comfortable with data and math. It's also helped me adapt to things that I may not necessarily be as comfortable with.
