How did being a part of these organizations make your PVAMU experience better?
As a transfer student from Queens College, City University of New York, joining these organizations eased my transition into the PVAMU culture. I was able to meet like-minded individuals who cared for my well-being inside and outside the classroom.
What are your career aspirations?
I am starting my career as a Technology Associate for Wells Fargo in Dallas, Texas. I found out about this job through external research. I connected with Wells Fargo recruiters, engaged in their online-platform events, and was able to land an interview.
In the future, I aspire to tailor my career path into one of an Information Technology (IT) Project Manager. After taking an IT Project Management course at PVAMU, I was intrigued by the type of role and duties an IT Project Manager has. I look forward to working with a team to plan budgeting, scope, time, and quality aspects on various projects we have to fulfill.
Why did you want to attend PVAMU?
As I was moving to Texas, I knew I would transfer to an HBCU. After visiting the campus, meeting some of the students and my advisor, the decision was fairly easy. They made Prairie View feel like home faster than I expected.
What does PVAMU have that other universities do not?
The PVAMU culture and pride is second to none. There is such great history at this school, which brings pride and honor to its students.
How do you feel PVAMU helped you to achieve your career goals?
PVAMU challenged me to step out of my comfort zone. Simultaneously, I was blessed to work at a job on campus as Help Desk Support for Information Technology Services, where I gained meaningful experience that I can use in the real world.
What do you love most about PVAMU?
I love the family feel at PVAMU. The professors in the College of Business care for my success. During this current pandemic, they have worked with the students to make sure we are still receiving a quality education.
Do you have any advice for current students?
Go to your professors’ office hours! Get to know them and build meaningful relationships. They can go a long way!
