Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
Getting into college was the single most important step in my career.
Becoming immerged in student organizations helped me develop leadership skills. Seeking internships to heighten skills learned in the classrooms and understand the business environment.
Searching for a career vs a job. Joining the Operations Leadership Development Program (LDP) allowed for me to obtain exposure to multiple Business Units and add different skills to my toolkit.
Each experience built on top of the other from a complexity and responsibility stand point.

Advice for Getting Started
Here's the first step for everyone
Research the company you are interested in. Try to learn as much as you can about the company and why it will be a good fit. Leverage mentors to seek guidance and input. You want to ensure a great first impression.
