How are you involved with business students at EGSCoB today? "I serve as the Finance Campus Lead for Boeing with UMSL where I continue to give back through engagement with the business students through career fairs, mentoring programs and onsite activities. This is one of the most rewarding hats I wear. The students at UMSL are fantastic and I truly enjoy dedicating my time supporting them."
How has your education at UMSL Business transformed your life? "While at UMSL, the accounting program transformed my critical thinking skills which helped build my career. So many projects and discussions held in classroom settings challenged my thinking on various accounting and business topics. Very similar examples showed up year after year while working at Boeing. Having had those classroom experiences, it made the discussions on the job that much smoother and relatable. I was able to rise to the challenge and saw my career grow for years to come. I am forever grateful for the professors at UMSL and the curriculum that more than prepared me for the real world."
