“Recognizing everyone is on the same team and generally headed in the same direction is important.”

“Carthage is an amazing school that has so much to offer. But you will only get out what you put in. Take chances, try new things, and get involved!”

“My liberal arts education really helped me attack problems from different angles and communicate with my coworkers.”

“Professors at Carthage played a big role in how I teach. You can feel their passion while they teach, and you could tell that they cared not only about what they taught, but that they cared about the students too. I try to do that as well by trying to relate to my students.”

“Don’t get caught up with the small things too much. Try things you aren’t 100 percent sure about, like being an org president. I wasn’t sure about that before I took the position, but through my experiences, I proved to myself I could be a leader.”
