An artifact from my first semester of college would be the Quicken Loans logo. This is because I competed in a case competition that was hosted by Alpha Kappa Psi first semester and sponsored by Quicken Loans as well as a couple of other companies.
This case competition was difficult, but definitely a very impactful moment for me in my professional career. This was my first ever case competition and I was told I would be put on a team of 4 with people who had a lot of experience with these competitions. Turns out, nobody on my team had ever participated in one of these competitions before which made things very difficult. The three students I was working with were also all international students so there was a significant language barrier between us. We really just came together and had to work very hard in order to get our ideas across. I learned a lot about team work and how I can be a leader in difficult situations.
