What enrichment activities did you participate in as a student?
I received charter and served as president, and in the prior semester secretary and treasurer, of Pi Sigma Alpha National Honor Society's Alpha Iota Omega chapter.
What was your first job after graduating from Penn State?
Being a World Campus student, I was already quite skilled in my discipline. I currently work for Hylant Group, a full-service insurance broker.
Who was your favorite faculty member?
Anything with "Dr. Chud." I loved him and he taught me so much.
How did your liberal arts education and skills prepare you for life after graduation?
Again, being a World Campus student, I was prepared by my own life experiences. However, nothing could ever replace the amazing education I received. So proud to be alumni of this wonderful institution.
What networking advice would you share with current students?
I'm a LinkedIn junkie. Working for an insurance broker, networking is key even for a finance professional. Always grow your circle. It's all about building blocks. Never stop learning. Each day brings a new opportunity to learn. If I can't learn something each day, it hasn't been a great day.
