 I had always had a business or entrepreneurial spirit, wanted to learn business, figure out the game of business. I left here with that skill set that I needed academically and I found an environment here that was very encouraging and challenging, of course. My senior year, I think that was the year I started to translate going from not really having a good understanding of what the opportunities were that I might be capable of pursuing, I was being instilled with the right toolkit. Probably most importantly was the courage and the self-confidence to go pursue those opportunities out in the wide world of business. And some of that courage didn't always come naturally, it was coming from some of the professors. Dr. Pruitt was the head of the HR program or chair of that program, I believe she was a constant words of wisdom and encouragement in my ears. And Dr. Pruitt was always helping me kind of get over whatever worries and anxieties I had and try to show me that there's a big world there. I started right out of the university with a company called Shell Oil Company in a refinery around the New Orleans area and immediately plugged into a pretty challenging job. The thing I learned right away is companies are wanting people that don't mind taking on responsibilities and accountabilities and I think maybe that's part of my upbringing. Felt like that was reinforced at Alabama as well, so I just applied the learnings I'd had academically and started learning about the professional world and had a chance to do jobs that were related directly to my degree and many that weren't. I came here with a pretty narrow field of view, I left here with a wide lens of realizing the world is full of great opportunities.
