Finding Your Way: It's the Elms Effect

After speaking with my advisor, business management professor David Kimball, I realized that marketing was what I wanted to do. I love every aspect of it. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have the discipline and drive to keep pushing myself. I am currently working in sales and applying to graduate schools for my M.B.A.

Elms changed my life. My brother, Vuthy, also attended Elms, and was a huge reason I chose to come here. I used to visit him on campus and realized then that Elms would be the perfect place for me.

Being the second person in my family to graduate from Elms means the world to me. My parents are immigrants from Cambodia, and they didn't have the opportunities I have had. They were so happy to see me graduate.
