I try to get out of the library in time to do a hot yoga or boxing class. When workloads are high, this is sometimes not possible, but I usually manage it.
There are always meetings or Lunch n’ Learns to attend. Today, I have a meeting with the Executive Women’s Think Tank, and my sub-group is presenting our findings. We have been researching the resources for women at Vanderbilt and have been meeting with undergraduate women’s groups, as well as key faculty and executive women in administration. It has been a fantastic opportunity to connect with incredible women on campus and has opened my eyes to all the resources we have here at Vanderbilt.

I am doing an independent study with a second-year student for a local company—OVATION Events—and we meet for a few hours a couple of times a week. We worked with OVATION to create a marketing strategy to target key new clients and are now implementing a trial of the strategy. It is fun to get out of the Owen bubble and apply what I have learned to a real-world business problem. Working with a local company allows me to make a difference, as well as build my network, in Nashville. 13

It’s a Monday so usually I’m having a quiet night, but there is always someone ready to have a glass of wine and go dancing any night of the week!
