IU Kelley School of Business Alumni Feature
Arianna says she knows women don’t always apply for jobs unless they think they meet all the qualifications. “From experience,” she says, “women should go for it.”
“Always go for it. Don’t be afraid to fail,” she said. “Take classes that might not apply to you. They’ll push you to expand your knowledge and creativity, to test your strengths and to challenge your weaknesses. Explore an internship that’s out of your comfort zone. Don’t be afraid to try something new. It’s all a learning experience, and it’s the only way you’ll grow.”
