I graduated from UO just over a year ago, and I was immediately able to find work at a Eugene local credit union thanks to the speaking and advocacy skills I garnered in the program. I've had quick movement over that year, being appointed to leadership teams, branding teams, and have been promoted to the credit union's lead Mortgage Processor. I've been told by my peers and supervisors that my ability to curate talking points and make on the cuff arguments has made me a very valuable person in my workplace.
