Addie has her first Michigan Ross business school class next week on Monday morning!
And itâs been a long time coming for Addie.
She applied to Ross last year, and got denied. And back in college, Addie switched her major from nursing to journalism at the very last minute.
Also, Addie graduated during the height of The Great Recession, so instead of getting a great job in marketing or PR back in 2010, she accepted a 1-year internship at Greyhound Lines, and had to network her ass off in order to get to where she is today.
