This past semester has been incredibly fulfilling. While the courses and workload are very rigorous, even more than last year, I am reminded every day that I made the right decision to attend Northeastern University. I am on track to graduate with a combined major in Psychology and Business Administration, with a Marketing Analytics concentration. As time progresses I realize even more strongly how these two subjects go hand in hand. Similar theories are brought up in all of my classes, and I see the association between the two in my day-to-day life. This semester I have been more involved in the community by joining the Data Club and Northeastern Women in Business club. My short time in the Data Club has already strengthened my desire to pursue a career in marketing analytics, something I hope to be working with very soon. I was also able to give back to the Boston community through community service opportunities offered through Kappa Kappa Gamma, the sorority I joined in the fall of last year.

This semester I will finally be able to benefit from the reason why I chose to attend Northeastern in the first place, which is their co-op program. This program provides students with the opportunity to work for companies around the globe while gaining experience in their field of choice. By the end of this semester, I will have a job set in place for next fall where I will be able to explore and solidify a career in the future. I’m not sure what co-op I will get but I am super excited for the process to begin. The generosity MVYouth has shown me and my fellow scholarship recipients continues to be a source of inspiration while pursuing this amazing opportunity. I am very grateful for my journey so far and I am very excited about what is to come!
