You're involved in a publication on campus, right?

Yeah!Chivomengro was started in 2012 as a Core project, and it publishes the work of students. We get a lot of rants, essays, music reviews, video game reviews, sports journals, basically anything that students can’t find a niche for. We are that niche. It’s grown a lot since it was created, and it went from being a blog to being a focused publication with an editorial calendar and a review in Seven Days, which is really cool.

What internships have you had?

I interned with Dealer.com in Burlington as a copywriting intern the summer before my senior year. I wrote about cars and edited other people’s writing, and I got to audit a lot of websites. Because of that internship, I got an email in the spring of my senior year saying, “Hey, Jess. In May, you graduate. In May, we hire. We want to have you back on our team.” They even kept my ID from when I had interned.

What other organizations are you involved with on campus?

I’m in the improv comedy troupe called Los Dormant Volcanoes. We hold auditions every year and practice 15–20 hours per week. We focus on the basics of comedy and how to make stuff up, not just about being funny and owning the stage on your own. It’s a collaborative team effort; you have to be really close with the people in the troupe. We’ve gotten to perform at the Vermont Comedy Club a few times with other college improv troupes, which is really fun.

What made you choose the Marketing major?

I came into college as a Criminal Justice major, and decided to take a marketing work-study job at the Leahy Center for Digital Forensics & Cybersecurity (The Leahy Center). After my first week working as a Marketing Assistant there, I decided to switch my major to Marketing because I loved it so much. It was so easy to switch majors since my professors and Faculty Advisor were so helpful with the entire process.

What has been your experience with the Core Curriculum?

One of my favorite things at Champlain is the Core. When I came to college, I was a totally different person. I grew up in a small town and had no idea how the world worked outside of that. In my Core classes, we discuss so many different perspectives and deeper-level topics. This has molded me into a strong activist who looks for multiple ways to achieve a goal. Core really allows you to explore your personal ideas and beliefs while connecting with others in your classes.

How has Champlain prepared you for the professional world?

Being a Marketing major at Champlain has opened so many doors for my future. In my first two years, I have had over six jobs and internships that were directly related to my major. It’s truly an amazing experience to show up to class and have representatives from Seventh Generation, Ben & Jerry’s, Burton, and other big names there to work with you on class projects.

DId you enjoy studying abroad?

Yes. I really enjoyed my study abroad semester. I had the ability to travel as well as live in the professional field doing app development work. I worked in a very small company with six employees that included me, as well as another graphic design student, and an Division of Information Technology & Sciences student as interns.It was a very collaborative environment. I enjoyed a lot of the projects that I worked on. I did a 10,000 word ebook copyright project where I talked about employee mobility optimization, and I did a lot of design work in adding a community management side to this app that helps you park. It’s called Parkpnp and it’s like a Airbnb for parking spaces.

Did you learn anything new in the professional world abroad versus here?

I would say that in Ireland when you’re within your internship, you start off with work that is to learn the culture. I did a lot of customer service work to understand both the platform, as well as the pain points of the users within the app, and from there I was able to scale into larger projects. In Ireland, it’s very much about proving your worth and then being able to climb the ladder with more independent projects.

What is the SMART space and what was your role there?

I love the SMART Space. It’s a center for Champlain students to receive academic help, depending on what classes they’re taking. I’ve utilized it for financial management courses.The SMART Space is my favorite feature of Champlain College. I would not have survived a lot of the math side and financial sides of my major if it wasn’t for the SMART Space. My first and second year, I was in the labs doing statistics work and financial management work with these tutors, who were students and peers. It made it so much easier to gain a grasp of my homework and my class assignments, and because of that, I’ve built that relationship with the SMART Space as well as gotten really good grades from the help I received. I was able to become a statistics tutor and help out students like the ones before me. It’s actually amazing, because during the alumni networking even, I got to meet one of my old financial management tutors, and it was a great experience to see how they’ve grown and for them to see how I’ve grown from my first year to my senior year.
