I almost didn't come to UNH. Being only 20 minutes from home, I thought it was too close.
I was seconds away from committing elsewhere when something clicked – UNH had everything I needed for my future.
Since I was five, selling acorns at the end of my street, I've been drawn to sales. With both my parents and grandpa in the field, it's in my blood.
At Paul College, I'm double-majoring in Marketing and Finance to build a strong foundation for my career goals.
Joining the Professional Sales Group (PSG) was transformative. I was nervous at first, but the welcoming environment quickly put me at ease.
It's a supportive community with healthy competition and real-world experience.
Winning a sales competition in my first year with PSG was an incredible feeling – my hard work had paid off.
The Paul College community is tight-knit and supportive. You'll find friendly, motivated classmates and opportunities to build lasting friendships. It's competitive, yet collaborative.
UNH offers the perfect balance of college independence and the convenience of being close to home. Plus, quick access to beaches and mountains feeds my love for surfing and snowboarding.
My advice? Get involved early!
The connections you make here can last a lifetime. Choosing UNH and Paul College has shaped my journey in ways I never expected. The hands-on experiences and supportive community have set me on a path to achieve my personal and professional goals.
