Natalie, a junior from York, PA fell in love with UD’s campus and all of the activities that the university had to offer. The study abroad programs she learned about also inspired Natalie to attend UD, as it was important for her to pick a school that provided educational traveling experiences.
When Natalie was admitted to UD, she was set on studying to become a physician’s assistant or speech pathologist and began her undergraduate career as a cognitive science major. Within the first few weeks of her first year, Natalie quickly realized her major wasn’t a match and made a change to health behavior science. From there, after taking an introductory business class, she later decided that she would rather pursue business instead! In addition, Natalie had always been in love with fashion and the fashion industry, but was afraid to take the leap into such a competitive field. After taking an introductory Fashion class, she decided to follow her dream and complete a degree she was passionate about, rather than one she was struggling with. Now, Natalie is a marketing major with a fashion management minor.
Natalie feels that University Studies afforded her the flexibility to take a wide range of classes, which allowed her to discover what she liked and didn’t. As a result of meeting with her advisor and completing her own research, she found the programs that were right for her. Natalie also realized that although she changed her mind several times before solidifying her path, spending time exploring was worthwhile. Natalie hopes to pursue a career in the fashion business. She is considering working in public relations, as a buyer, or merchandiser in New Your City. The options are limitless! Currently, Natalie is also very involved with RSOs and Greek Life on campus.
Words of wisdom for current UST students: “In the end, your major does not always define your career path! Enjoy life as a college student and take classes that are intriguing, fun, and excite you about your future.”
