Title: Development Coordinator, Development
What's the most important lesson you've learned in your career to date?: One of the most important lessons I've learned in my career so far is that you never know how people will play a part in your success. Success can be defined in different ways, and everyone has a definition they are most comfortable with. I think that people can influence your success in just as many different ways, and you never know how big of a role someone will play. That important person might be your elementary school bus driver's wife or your youngest sister's best friend's dad, the truth is you never know. The Golden Rule is key for success here and throughout life.
Grow your connections at Notre Dame and help others get to know you! Simply complete this form and we will feature you in an upcoming issue and on our website!
