About Us
Jacob
Northern Arizona University
I majored in Business Management at Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff, Arizona) with a minor in Psychology. Interestingly enough, I enjoyed taking an Education class enough to the point where I may seek a Master’s degree in the field . My work in college consisted of temporary jobs in the summers, and I worked at Red Lobster during my junior year up until the pandemic occurred. Management taught me how to work with people in a productive manner and Psychology helps me as a person understand and relate to coworkers/people. Despite my experiences outside my area of study, my final semester in college has taught me plenty of practical skills like working with groups and managing a company, which I plan to apply in future job settings. Business school taught me that industry needs leaders that can understand peers and make a positive change to the culture. Psychology taught me that understanding people isn’t as easy as it seems and sometimes people have more things going on in their lives than we can assume. Combining these two fields allows me to understand people to my fullest capacity.
Tyler
University of Pittsburgh
I majored in Chemical Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh and received a minor in Chemistry. One course which changed my college experience was Engineering a Craft Brewery, which taught me the fundamentals of brewing and about the various styles of beer brewed locally and globally. This course helped me grow my appreciation for all types of beer and took me outside of my comfort zone. During undergrad, I was involved in many organizations that helped shape my overall experience. I held leadership positions in the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity as well as Pitt’s Interfraternity Council. I was a member and officer of Tau Beta Pi, an engineering honor society, as well as oSTEM, an organization which promotes LGBTQIA+ community members in STEM fields. In the academic realm, I served as a peer tutor as well as a teaching assistant for organic chemistry. I conducted a summer research project through the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh as well as a year of research in the Veser Lab in the Chemical Engineering Department. Finally, I completed a series of Co-Op rotations with The Sherwin-Williams Company as a Project Engineering Co-Op.
