Q&A WITH ISABELLE
How have your various internships and campus involvement enhanced your Walton experience?
"Learning in the corporate environment has been pivotal throughout my Walton experience. The ability to apply classroom theories and knowledge to actual scenarios provides a mutually benefits to both my academic and professional career. Campus involvement has been instrumental as I have been able to help other business students directly and develop my leadership skills simultaneously."
What advice do you have for younger students?
"'Learn to fail forward' -Reba McDermott. College is about trying new things, making new friends, all the while finding yourself. Approach college with a mindset of growth as the ultimate goal, not success. Success is a byproduct of growth."
Favorite WCOB class?
"Even though I am really not great at accounting, my favorite class was Managerial Accounting as I learned about how to analyze numbers and apply that to operational efficiency. Currently, I'm in the Supply Chain Leadership Colloquium class with Dr. Donnie Williams. I'm really enjoying it, as it takes more of an introspective approach to building a strong foundation for your career."
What is a Walton resource you have used and benefitted from?
"I use the Business Communication Lab quite often to look over my essays for grants, applications, and other writing assignments. I really have loved participating in the SCM Shadow Days where you have the opportunity to tour various corporate offices."
