I got a chance to study in the U.S. and had earned an Associate Degree in Science. After learning about all of the subjects, I finally chose to become an accountant.

I think it is very important to ask industry professionals how to network and make yourself marketable when transitioning from school to the workforce. That's why I like the university's Leadership and Mentoring Program (LAMP). All of the mentors are very reputable and are able to give good tips and advice to students. In the future, I hope to be a LAMP mentor myself. My mentor has truly helped me, and I want to help a future student the way she has helped me.

At Shenandoah I realized very quickly that I could be involved in everything I wanted to take part in. I've taken advantage of all the resources and activities -- such as leading clubs/organizations, going on all the different trips with Student Engagement and mentoring First-Year Seminar classes, all while playing a varsity sport (field hockey). Shenandoah has allowed me to succeed on the field as well as in the classroom and even in the SU community.

I liked the small school feel and how friendly everyone was despite how different they were from me. I'm also on the tennis team, play electric guitar at Abundant Life Church in Stephens City, and have a passion for flight. I anticipate flying jets in the future!

She has a big dream — to become the CEO of the Walt Disney Company — and she’s not leaving it up to wishing upon a star. She is chasing her dream with the single-minded tenacity of a Disney heroine.
Shenandoah’s BBA program teaches you a lot and gives you a lot of opportunities. I went to Madrid my freshman year to learn about international business and I worked at the Olympics in South Korea, so I’m learning on an international scale. At Shenandoah, you learn how things happen, and you’re asked ‘What would you fix?’ It’s an education for real life, and because of that, I feel prepared.”
