Q&A with Alpha
What does a typical day look like for you during the semester?
It really depends. This semester I actually have all online classes, but I try to come to campus as much as I can! Coming to campus is nice because I am able to hang out and do my homework with my friends who are also in the College of Business, such as Ella Brooks.
What has your journey at MSU Denver been like?
My Journey has been a little bit complex. I actually started in 2020 as a pre-nursing major but I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. So, I ended up moving to Boulder, then to Arizona, and then back to Colorado. I was only supposed to be here for one semester, but I fell in love with this school. Being in Business Communications really changed my journey here, and I really liked it here so I decided to stay.
What are you passionate about within business?
I am passionate about brining more diversity and women to business. In a lot of my classes, I am one of the only women. Also, within the College of Business, I love the student body and I like going to the events.
What are your future career plans?
For right now, I’m not too sure. I will say that I know I want to come back to MSU Denver to do my master’s in accounting, and then I would want to open up my own CPA firm. Or I might want to do something in Marketing.
What clubs, organizations, or events have you enjoyed the most at MSU Denver?
I would say I really liked the MSU Denver Women in Real Estate Panel event. I ended up mostly running the event and it was cool to see the women in real estate and also all of the students that showed up! I love events here, they are a great time to hang out with other students.
What advice would you give to new business students?
I would say everything is not linear, like no one has a perfect journey. I feel like MSU Denver is not a typical university and everyone has their own journey. It is okay to be where you’re at. That’s what I like about going to school here. Enjoy being where you’re at and enjoy college because it does fly by!
What’s something that you wish you knew before you started college?
I wish I knew to use the resources offered by the College of Business, like the tutoring center. I will say the tutoring center actually opened up opportunities for me to get into leadership roles. So, I would say use all of the resources and go to your professors office hours.
What’s your favorite thing about being part of the College of Business at MSU Denver?
I love the community here, it’s just great. Also, I love the advisors and the professors, everyone here is amazing!
