College Works Career Impact
In one sentence, what has CW meant to you?
The building blocks for a long and successful career.
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?
I have too many to list. Overall, I would thank them for giving me their trust and the opportunity to help them even though I was 18-20yr old.
What was the greatest lesson you learned from your CW experience?
Look past instant gratification.
How have the friendships and networks you built during CW affected you?

If you had to come up with a one line slogan for CW, what would it be?
An opportunity of a lifetime.
Advice
Many college students struggle to choose between an internship specific to their target industry or doing CW. What advice would you give them on this subject if they wanted to enter your career field?
I was a biology major when I first did College Works. I realized how much I loved business and ended up switching to business. However, I know people that did it with other majors and it still helped them significantly.
What’s your best advice for someone interested in entering your career field?
Be willing to sacrifice for what will pay off in the future.
What’s your favorite memory from CW?
Getting called on stage in Mexico when I was nominated for intern of the year.
Last words of wisdom?
Take a risk on yourself!
