I was financially responsible for getting through college, and supporting myself in the process. It was important to me to attend an affordable university that would allow me to work part-time while attending school. 

I work with hiring managers to determine what they're looking for in a candidate to fill and open position. I also work with universities to recruit their students for internships.
