What is one piece of advice you’d like to share with fellow Smith students?
“Network network network! Every networking chat was worth it. It either led me to the next connection that landed the job or helped me learn more about the field I was getting into. Win win!”

Briefly share more details on how you landed your role.
“Adam was instrumental in helping me make connections with former alum that landed me my current job as a Senior Consultant at Guidehouse. He set me up on networking chats, met with me often to touch base throughout the job search, and guided me through the interview and negotiating process. My fellow Terp alum Paul Lee went above and beyond to edit my resume and introduce me to mentors and connections in consulting. Since I was pivoting fields, I was new to the private sector and needed some additional perspectives. I’m not sure what I would have done without them! Thanks Adam and Paul!”
