Brandli (’15, business administration) is the best. She is so helpful in all regards. She may have been the best thing to happen to my professional career so far.

I had no idea how to get an internship, what career I could see myself in, how to make connections through informational interviews, etc. before meeting her.” COURTNEY KLINGBEIL
