B.A.
Public and Applied Humanities
2022

My education and degree in Applied Humanities prepared me for my professional career in numerous ways. Within this program, I have acquired strong interpersonal communication skills, enhanced my intercultural understandings, developed innovative problem-solving techniques, and refined effective organizational abilities. I have adapted these skills into my daily endeavors within the realm of fashion sales, enhancing my performance and fostering meaningful connections with my clients and colleagues.
The humanities program not only offered relevant coursework but also provided invaluable guidance in preparing me for the daunting task of launching into the job market post-college. Stephanie Springer's class, "Pre-Internship: Providing Career Readiness," played a pivotal role in bolstering my confidence and equipping me with the necessary skills to navigate the job search process with ease, turning what could have been an overwhelming experience into a manageable and empowering journey. I actually found my first job through Handshake, an application I was introduce to and utilized in the course! I am so grateful to have chosen a program that not only imparted valuable knowledge but also taught me how to apply it effectively in both real-world contexts and my fashion career.
