Today I'd like to express my extreme gratitude to BYU-I on their 20th anniversary by sharing just 5 of the many extraordinary things BYU-I has empowered me to accomplish since my freshman year. 1. Become the first BYU-I student to intern at Google 2. Speak in +30 networking events around the globe 3. Win the Southwest Airlines Social Media Award 4. Become the Sales MVP for Q2 2020 at Stukent 5. Contribute to 1,508%+ online traffic at MGIS I'm an ordinary student. No 4.0 GPA. No superpowers. In fact, I lack many of the natural skills I wish I had. However, I join my voice to Gordon B Hinkley's about 20 years ago at the dedication of the Hinkley building when he said "the work of the world isn't done by geniuses. It is done by ordinary people who have learned to work in an extraordinary way" I'm far away from being a genius and I wouldn't be able to be where I'm at today without this outstanding university and my amazing professors. Happy b-day Brigham Young University - Idaho #studentvoices #careers #byui

Love this! I too attended BYU-I back in the days when it was called Ricks College. As an ordinary shy girl from Chicago coming to Rexburg Idaho was a huge change for me but one of the best decisions I have made,. Good luck in all you do.
