How has ISM benefitted Tori Stephens Goodman?
"ISM provided me with a multitude of opportunities that allowed my personal and professional skills to flourish, especially my leadership and communication skills. Being a part of ISM gave me the chance to take a “peak” into the profession I planned to study in college. Along with professional development, I was able to personally connect with my peers, multiple professionals within my industry, and a fantastic teacher with endless advice and wisdom."
What was a challenge they faced and overcame?
"I found myself so engaged with the mentor side of the class that I neglected the professional development components. With the help of Mr. Pirtle, I was able to quickly catch back up and refine my professional documents and enhance my public speaking skills."
Advice
"When deciding on a topic, follow your heart! Focus on a field that you have always dreamed of being a part of. Not only will you learn about that industry, you will learn so much about yourself and whether or not you truly love what you're future self could be doing."
