-: So Penn State prepared me to (laughs) be where I am today
by having such a great culture.
I think that whenever I walked around Penn State's campus,
I felt a part of a very large community,
and feeling part of that community
allowed me to speak my mind and allowed me
to flourish as somebody who could go into a place
and feel confident that, hey, these are my peers.
I have as much right to speak here as anyone.
And also, living on a big campus like this,
you kind of have to figure out who you are
because there are a lot of things you could be.
Let's figure out what you actually want to be.
So I think Penn State being large,
having the community culture that it has,
it really did allow me to turn into a more outgoing person
and allowed me to explore more career paths.
