>> I Think Penn State, the College of Health and Human Development,
and the School of Hospitality Management played a huge role in shaping who I am today.
If you would have met me back when I was a freshman or even a senior,
I was a completely different person.
I think staying involved as alumni has continued to kind of grow me,
but they taught me a lot of principles.
They taught me to get out of my comfort zone.
They taught me to make sure I could get involved on campus
and be a student leader and a leader as an alumni.
They taught me the power of networking more than anything else and how strong our alumni base is.
And they basically built my entire resume
and afforded me all the opportunities that I have today.
