You’re More Than Just a Student

My Northwood experience has been nothing short of amazing. This is a special place to be. A place where you know everyone’s name and if you don’t, you introduce yourself.

Through the Career Expo held at Northwood I was able to land an internship working for Ally Financial in downtown Detroit…I am very thankful for the career advancement team and professors at Northwood because I know they prepared me for these opportunities.

I had the chance to network with someone who gave me the opportunity to head to Manhattan, New York for the summer to work at a global fashion company. Since then, I’ve been inspired to continue to work in the fashion industry. There’s so much joy that comes from doing something you love.
