What is your favorite memory of your time at Signature?
Call me cliché, but it’s an impossible task to pick a favorite memory, rather, I’ve been left with a feeling…or maybe a sensation, like a childhood movie, that I was transported somewhere special for a little while and that I am grateful for it. The beauty of Sig is in the individual. I remember, more than anything, the people, and how everyone I knew imprinted a special quality or character onto that place. There was no real popularity, or clique, or in-group. The wallflowers were just as important as the social butterflies.
How has the education you received at Signature impacted your college experience and beyond?
Obviously, it made college easy. I actually had to “unprogram” my brain to study less! I still have a voracious appetite for knowledge that I got from Sig, with the added benefit of being able to learn and create whatever I like! I am an adult after all. Or at least I am pretty sure…the being an adult bit, not the learning bit.
Beyond the work ethic, I think Sig made me a more empathetic person, which is the quality I most admire in myself and am the most grateful for. It wasn’t “Sig the School,” but more “Sig the People,” that taught me, especially among my peers, that I experienced a brimming, overflowing degree of candidness and perspective from. The cultures, the backgrounds, the personalities, made me see the world for what it is: a fishbowl with the ocean filled into it. it’s crowded, cluttered with life, and the more you see, the more you feel. I think they have a saying about spending a day in someone’s shoes…
“What did you study in college? What are you doing now?”
I studied Marketing with a double minor in Psychology and Arts Management at Indiana University. Now I work with startups in Bloomington helping grow businesses that I care about. I am also a videographer and musician on the side!
