"A lot of the professors knew I was trying to pursue this business and they would offer help, and I’d meet in their office and talk through different things I was going through. I also met some of the alumni who would come back to campus and be mentors in class, and it was so cool to connect with them. There are still business alumni who I met at Taylor who I meet with to this day."
