Class of 2019, Nordstrom
When looking back at my time at Notre Dame, I cannot deny the incredible impact SIBC has had on my college experience.
As a freshman, I came to Notre Dame with an intention of studying business, but I honestly didn’t know much about it and my future major/career path was up in the air. I attended SIBC’s All-Council Meeting that August and was excited to hear of all the interesting companies SIBC partnered with on projects. As someone with a love of fashion who thought I would have zero involvement with the industry while in South Bend, IN, I happily signed up for the Vera Bradley project. I loved every minute of working on this project with my peers and was elated to be selected for the travel team. I never thought as a naïve freshman I would have the opportunity to stand in Vera Bradley’s boardroom and present my research to Barbara Bradley (co-founder of Vera Bradley), herself!
After this first semester, my involvement with SIBC continued as a travel team member on the Ogilvy project, and then as a leader on both the Vera Bradley and Ogilvy projects my Sophomore year. Leading these projects was a real “full circle” moment for me. I started my SIBC experience as a young freshman absolutely terrified of public speaking. To see myself a year later as a project leader with much greater confidence was truly rewarding.
As my junior year came around, I knew I was ready to take the next step with the council. In 2018, I served as one of the Co-Chief Marketing Officers and Co-Directors of the Marketing Division. Being a member of the Board of Directors of SIBC will always be one of the highlights of my time at Notre Dame. Each week, I got to work with a team of amazing ambitious students to better serve the SIBC community and I felt incredibly fulfilled by this role.
I am so thankful to SIBC for enabling me to improve my public speaking and leadership skills, all the while helping me discover my passions and identify a future career path. Thanks to my work with Vera Bradley, I learned of the boundless opportunities for business-minded people in the fashion retail industry. Next year, I’ll be working at Nordstrom’s corporate headquarters as a Merchandise Analyst and I could not be more excited. Work is so much more fun when you are doing something you love and I thank SIBC for helping me find that passion.
Embroidery badges stand out because they are both durable and visually appealing. Unlike printed designs that may fade or peel over time, embroidered EMB PATCH are made from high-quality threads that are tightly woven, making them resistant to wear and tear. The texture of the stitches also gives the badge a premium, handcrafted feel that many other decoration methods simply can’t replicate.
