Experience Specialist at EF Education First

Boston, MA
Majors:
Economics, French and Francophone Studies

"HWS provided me with a multitude of opportunities to challenge myself both academically and personally. I am most appreciative to have had the flexibility to diversify my studies between two majors, Economics and French and Francophone Studies, and a minor, Italian, in very different academic areas. My experience with the HWS French department specifically helped me to improve upon invaluable skills such as communication, problem-solving, and analysis that I continue to use everyday."

My experiences in athletics, administration, and extracurricular groups allowed me to build trust and leadership on campus.

Lauryn tabolt '22

Current Position: 
Community Development Specialist at NY Planning and Community Development 
Current Location:
Lewis County, NY  
Majors:

Environmental Studies

"I look back on my memories of HWS very fondly. I had amazing professors that genuinely cared and met lifelong friends in Theta Phi Alpha, which is the only sorority on campus. HWS helped prepare me for my current occupation by being so involved in the community and placing emphasis on having input from stakeholders whenever we did projects that were based specifically on Geneva. Professor of Sociology Ervin Kosta was always extremely supportive whether I was looking for advice academically or when I was looking for jobs and trying to decide what I wanted to do. I actually gained a ton from my independent study on climate resilience through urban studies, and I will be working on getting my county a county-wide resiliency plan."

nick kriak '22

Current Position: 
Legal Assistant at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
Current Location:
New York, NY
Majors:
Economics and Educational Studies

"HWS prepared me for my future through the skill sets I acquired in the classroom and on the athletic field. The Economics classes allowed me to enhance my critical thinking skills while the Educational Studies classes further developed my interpersonal skills. Being on the men’s soccer team and fulfilling the role of a captain has taught me how to become a leader in all assets of life. The combination of these three has forced me to grow intellectually and is the reason as to how I got to where I am."
