What did you do in undergrad that has set you up for success in your career?
That's an interesting question because I had no idea what I wanted to do in my undergrad. I took every opportunity I could and was involved in a lot of clubs and organizations.
I also took on some leadership roles. I was president of an a cappella group and president of Jewish Student Life.
By taking on those leadership opportunities, I learned a lot about working with other people. Also, being a theater major, I learned confidence, communication, and how to work as a team. Both of those things definitely set me up for success.
