What were some highlights of your time at Catholic University?

"Some of the biggest highlights of my time at Catholic University were the meaningful relationships I built along the way. The close connections I formed with faculty who were always willing to challenge me, guide me, and cheer me on made a huge impact on my growth. Just as important were the friendships and bonds I made with other students, which turned everyday moments on campus into some of my favorite memories.

I’m also incredibly grateful for the monumental experiences I had outside the classroom, especially getting the opportunity to help plan Senior Week 2025. Being involved in something that brought an entire senior class together and shaped such a memorable moment in their college experience was truly special. Whether it was working on events, joining campus activities, or just being part of the community, being involved at CUA made my four years feel full, meaningful, and unforgettable."

What advice do you have for students during their job search? 

"My biggest advice for students during their job search is to start early, stay proactive, and lean into the relationships around you. Take advantage of career services, talk to professors, and reach out to alumni. People genuinely want to help you succeed. Don’t be afraid to network, even when it feels intimidating, because so many opportunities come from simple conversations. Most importantly, trust the process. The right role will come together when you combine preparation with persistence."
