Career Goals in Sport Business
I would love to work in the professional sports industry, ideally in partnerships and sponsorships. Mount's professors have really helped me build my own brand, as well as instilling in me the importance of connections and networking. Dr. Kadlecek has had the biggest impact on my experience at UMU so far. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in the sport industry, making him such a great resource to learn from. He is such a great mentor to me, as well. He has always helped guide me in the right direction and help me advance my career.
Advice for Prospective Students
Be open minded, and be patient with yourself when trying to choose a school. When you are in the right place, you will know. I heard about Mount Union through my guidance counselor, who attended Mount. I became more interested after learning about their academic and athletic programs, and decided to plan a visit. On that visit I instantly knew I had to study here! I am not sure how to describe it, but I just felt entirely comfortable here.
Time-Management as a Student-Athlete
The struggle thus far has come from time management and ensuring that I have enough time in the day to complete all the tasks that I want to. I stay very busy between two separate teams as well as balancing two jobs on campus. Finding the balance between all of that and my social life has been key to being successful here at Mount. Faculty, and everyone on campus are amazing! They are all focused on ensuring students are comfortable and welcome here.
