## In Their Own Words
### Amanda Pendergrass ’20
“Landing my first post-grad job wouldn’t have been possible without the School of Business career office. Every mock interview, career fair, resume review, networking opportunity, potential career brainstorming session and so much more made all of the difference in my interview processes post graduation. I am grateful to have had Jill Koehler as a professor and, more importantly, as a friend. I will always remember how inspiring her speech about post-graduation success was during Accepted Students Day way back in 2016. Her constant support encouraged me to continually reach my potential, and I’m so excited to begin my next chapter as an OmniPod Sales Associate at Insulet!”
