Student/Alumnus
Graduated
2008
Evergreen prepared me to think independently and to go after what I want. It taught me to value community and collaboration, which I have incorporated into my business model. Above all, Evergreen redefined the learning environment, which inspired me to become an educator no matter where I work. I worked in student affairs at Evergreen for three years before earning my Master's Degree in Education and starting my own business.
