How did your FPC certificate help you get to where you are today? 

The FPC certificate gave me a solid foundation to build my career. Every time I have had a job interview, I have been asked about the program! Very few students coming out of undergrad have a fundraising or non-profit credential behind their name. This program made me stand out in interviews and amongst my peers in the fundraising world.

What career advice do you have for current NLP students? 

Seize every opportunity you get and do not be afraid to take risks! If you can do both of these things, you will go far in life and in your career as an advancement professional.
