Alumni Spotlight
I work at the intersection of design and business. Earning my BS in Management in 2021 gave me a strong foundation in both hard skills and real-world experience, helping me confidently step into my first role. UNC Asheville taught me to stay curious and ask questions, allowing me to gain my footing in the professional world. At the end of the day, I love what I do because of the incredible people I work with, and the fact that I get to work with sneakers for a living.”
During my time in the business department at UNCA, I was encouraged to expand my idea of what a [business] degree was, and use my liberal arts education to think critically about the world and systems around me. Through my study abroad experience in the Business in India program – I was able to explore my new found passion for poverty alleviation and health equity leading me to pursue my Masters in Public Health where I am now working in global health policy research.
