What's a Moment Before Grad that Really Shaped You?
Being a member of The Ohio State Women’s Rowing Team taught
me the energy, effort, discipline, and determination it takes to go after big dreams.
How has Your Idea of Success Changed Over Time?
Think about what’s important to you in life and chase opportunities that
align with that. Also, remember that you can pivot in life whenever you want! It’s never too late to move across the country, enter into a new industry, pick up new hobbies, or continue your education!
What's One Piece of Advice You Would Give Future Graduates?
Say YES to every opportunity that comes your way in college! You have the world at your fingertips and plenty of mentors/peers that want to help you find your passions and succeed. Every opportunity I took in college was a stepping stone to where I am today.
Thanks so much to Kylie for sharing her advice and inspo with us! We can't wait to see where your career goes next <3
