Life After Rockhurst
Where will your Rockhurst degree take you?

Personal accomplishment I'm most proud of:
Choosing a career that I love where I am challenged every day and given the opportunity to mentor others.
How Rockhurst prepared me:
Certainly my business classes gave me the mindset and fundamental understanding of what I would need to know. But my philosophy classes taught me more about how to conduct myself on a day-to-day basis - they helped me learn to think more creatively in a business setting.
