Work hard, set goals, be open-minded, and try new things. UNC Charlotte and the surrounding area have a lot to offer in terms of networking and internship/job opportunities. Do not be afraid to go to some of these events!

Get involved on campus! Surround yourself with other open-minded, motivated people who will build you up and encourage you to be your best. It is important to me, as a woman in business, to not be intimidated and to be willing to try new things, even when I am nervous about succeeding.


When women and men are looking at the same position, women are less likely than men to apply to the position if they do not meet β€œall” the listed qualifications. We need to be more confident in ourselves, remember to believe in ourselves, and be less afraid of making mistakes.
