How did Drexel prepare you for getting to this point in your career?

Drexel is a place of opportunity, from my Graduate Assistantship, to our professors from various backgrounds, to the internships made available.

This land of opportunity allowed me to build my network. I met celebrities, I interned at CBS 3/CW Philly in 3 departments (Sales, Research and Programming with Perry Casciato who was also my Programming Professor).

The Audience Measurement class taught by Terry Maher sparked my Research interest and he later became my boss at Harmelin and recently invited back as a guest lecturer to speak to his class.

What advice would you like to go back and give to your undergraduate self?

Don't stress, it will all come full circle and you will be fine.
