How HPU helped you get there: “Although I am just finishing my second semester at HPU right now, I have already grown so much, both academically and personally. I have learned so many important skills and have made so many valuable connections from each of the classes that I have taken so far.”
Most impactful mentor at HPU: “Dr. Matthew Carlson, associate professor of English, has been my most impactful mentor at HPU so far. I had him as a professor for an honors class during my first semester, as well as an English class during my second semester. I’ve learned so much from Dr. Carlson regarding things inside and outside of the classroom. He has been so influential and so encouraging.”
What has your internship experience been like and how is it preparing you for your future? “My internship begins this summer, and it is two months long. I have never been to Arizona before, so I will be living and working there by myself. I am very excited about the personal and educational growth that I will gain from this experience!”
What are the life skills HPU helped you develop that prepared you for long-term success? “Two of the most valuable life skills that HPU has helped me develop so far are how to write in both public and professional environments, and how to successfully network and market yourself in a professional setting.”
