"Saunders students are do-ers. The faculty have valuable insights into how new technologies impact the world we live in, and they can help you implement your ideas in realistic ways."
Why did you decide to attend Saunders College of Business at RIT?
Saunders had the appeal of a small business college at a big engineering school. I wanted the opportunity to work with and learn from students with vastly different backgrounds from myself. I also liked how the faculty at Saunders take a passionate interest in their students' career paths, and I was able to discern that on my first visit.
What Do You Do?
I am a consultant for IBM's Global Business Services, where I help IBM's clients effectively integrate new technologies with their own current platforms in a sustainable way. I'm also the co-founder of both a tech startup and an entertainment management company. Besides that, I strive to be a lifetime learner.
In what ways has Saunders/RIT prepared you for the job market?
Saunders has given me great experience with working on teams consisting of people with different specialties and quirks.
What do you feel is the most distinctive advantage gained from your Saunders Experience?
I feel like I am more apt to take the initiative and to follow my interests. I find this quality surprisingly rare in the workforce today.
How has Saunders best helped me to reach my career success?
They allowed me to gain valuable experience in real working environments before I graduated, so I had fewer growing pains and could hit the ground running.
What should current students know about Saunders?
Saunders students are do-ers. They have valuable insights into how new technologies impact the world we live in, and they can help you implement your ideas in realistic ways.
