SIFE truly opened the door for the success I am experiencing today. As a junior, I was selected to lead the entrepreneurship side of SIFE, where I was able to meet with small business owners and help them find solutions to their small business needs. Not only was I able to be directly involved with key individuals in the community, but I was able to see the direct impact of the students working with real businesses as well as the impact on the community.

Expect the unexpected! I never thought 6 months after I graduated I would have 165 employees working for me and be fully responsible for the health care of 145 residents in a nursing facility. Prepare yourself for success now; expect the best within you to be discovered in the next 4 years.

After graduating with a BA in Accounting in 1995, I wasn’t quite sure where life would lead me. I knew I wanted to give back to other college students in some way by encouraging them to develop good habit in college so they would be prepared for the professional world. During my time in the Falls School of Business, I not only developed my academic skills, I also develop my professional skills which have allowed me to succeed.

In only two years, my experiences at Anderson University and within the Falls School of Business have already taught me a lot. Within the FSB I've worked with Anderson Media Group, learning to interview, network, and write professional press releases. I've consulted with local companies, learning to organize, professionalize, and communicate/present my ideas effectively.

During my senior year at FSB, I jumped on board with AMG. Throughout the year I treaded unmarked territory and tried to develop a real marketing team. Without much experience, this proved to be a challenge, but it was quite exciting. If this thing worked, it could be an invaluable opportunity not only for my team and myself but for future students. Building the team and structuring AMG taught me how to take initiative, which I have brought to my future position.
