How did your entrepreneurial education contribute to your career?
"My Entrepreneurial Management Certificate provided the mindset of failing fast, not being afraid to try something new, and gave me the confidence that I didn't need to know exactly how to do something - that I could figure it out as I went. The entrepreneurial mindset can be a skill in all facets of life."
What advice would you give to a student interested in pursuing a job or career field like yours?
"Follow your passions! Figure out what you love doing, it doesn't have to be for the next 20 years. Take calculated risks and follow YOUR path. Don't compare yourself to other people and their careers. They enjoy different things than you do. Only you can determine what you want to pursue."
