ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

"I really, really love HR. It’s a career that allows me to help those around me while also fulfilling my own needs to grow and improve. In HR, you’re responsible for being the employee advocate, a financial stewards for your company, and making sure your employees are comfortable. I get to do all of the strategic work, but I also get to help employees on a daily basis, which is something I really enjoy. When I went into the workforce, the education I received from the Haile/US Bank College of Business prepared me for what I needed to know in order to thrive."
