How did your CW experience impact your career? Immediately after graduation? Now?

College Works Painting definitely impacted my career. I was hired to the company I am at right after finishing my last year with College Works Painting and I am the only person to have been hired in my office without at least 2-3 years of post college work experience.

What do you want to tell your clients about what it meant to work with them and how it has helped you get to where you are today?

My favorite client(s) were Tom and Eileen Grena. They were by far the friendliest and nicest clients that I worked with this summer. They were always happy to see me and to talk to me, and I could tell that they truly cared about my success in life, aside from just success with College Works Painting. They were also very understanding and easy to work with throughout the process of painting their home. I enjoyed every moment I spent with them.

What was the greatest lesson you learned from your CW experience?

The greatest lesson I learned from College Works Painting was to never back down to a challenge and to never give up. This program really challenges you and pushes you beyond what you have ever experienced before. There were many difficult times, but by sticking with it I have learned to face other challenges in life head on!
