What is your favorite Seidman memory?
My favorite Seidman memories involve my time with Seidman IPO.
The bonds built through this club are invaluable to me and the
professional development I experienced significantly contributed to
where I am today.
Our building namesake – Bill Seidman – exhibited many
desirable traits of a leader such as innovator, integrity, curiosity
and future-minded. How did your experience at Seidman help you
develop one or more of these traits?
All of my classes at Seidman taught me that no matter how much I
know, there is always more to learn. This helped develop my curiosity
and is something that I will always carry with me during my life,
continuously seeking to build my knowledge and make connections to the
things I have learned.
What would you like people in the community to know about
Seidman graduates like you?
Seidman develops well-rounded graduates who are prepared to adapt
to the changing dynamics of the professional world they step into. Our
professors challenge us to think critically and establish a groundwork
of top-tier skills that we can leverage to handle any challenges we
will face during our careers and make a difference in any organization
we become a part of.
What is your career aspiration?
I desire to have an impact on the community and help others reach
their goals. Specifically, I aspire to be a leading professional in
the real estate industry and help create tangible, long-lasting
impacts around me that will outlive myself.
How did your time at Seidman College prepare you to contribute
to your community as a Laker for a Lifetime?
Seidman gave me knowledge and skills not only within my field but
as a member of the larger community. My professors connected the
things I learned in the classroom to the impact they can have in the
real world, and I believe that this will allow me to give back to my
community and have a positive impact on others moving forward.
