Tax Consultant, Deloitte
Major: Accounting
“My time at Queens was filled with wonderful experiences that helped me achieve personal and professional growth. As a student-athlete, I had a great time on the triathlon team as well as in the classroom. All the classes provided by Queens are super hands-on and the professors are enthusiastic about teaching. The accounting classes were especially useful as we worked on a variety of Excel and tax return projects that prepared me for success in my current role at Deloitte. On top of it all, the career office hosts so many events and opportunities that help students network and build stronger resumes.”
Live Event Coordinator, FOX Corporation
Major: Communication
“Queens provided me with a strong foundation in both industry knowledge and professional skills. The internship experiences and guidance from professors prepared me to navigate the fast-paced world of live events with confidence and effectiveness. Queens challenged me to think critically and approach problems creatively – qualities that directly contribute to my success in FOX’s dynamic environment.”
Registered Nurse, Orthopedic Trauma, Atrium Health
Major: Nursing
“The career office connected me with professional programs that helped kickstart my career. Through one of the programs, I was fortunate to meet Atrium Health leaders who continue to guide and support my career as a new registered nurse. Now, I hope to inspire new Queens students as they aim for success in their professional endeavors.”
Senior Specialist, International Transportation, Lowe’s Companies
Major: International Studies
“Queens encouraged me to pursue my passions and helped me find unique and innovative ways to do so. I had the opportunity to study abroad in Greece, experience an internship at Lowe’s, participate in Model NATO and Arab League conferences, and research historical topics of interest. My professors were always supportive and gave me insightful guidance on how to create a meaningful college experience. They also prepared me for a future career by supporting and challenging me to always become a better version of myself.”
Ph.D. Candidate, Health Informatics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill & Oncology Clinical Trial Data Scientist, Novant Health
Major: Health Educations and Promotion
“Queens played a pivotal role in preparing me for both my continued education and professional career. The university’s strong emphasis on career readiness instilled in me a mindset of excellence early on. I utilized resources like dedicated faculty, peer tutoring, and valuable networking opportunities, all of which have had a profound impact on my career thus far. I also believe not many students at other institutions can say they found a mentor through an introductory chemistry course, but that’s exactly how I met Dr. Clifton, who continues to guide me today.”
Financial Analyst, Ally Financial
Major: Business Administration
“During my studies, I greatly enjoyed developing meaningful connections with fellow students and professors while simultaneously preparing myself for a career in the business world. Queens acted as a catalyst for my career goals, helping me obtain two internships over the past two summers at Ally and leading to my job after graduation. I am grateful for the resources offered through the career office, especially the industry-focused networking events and connections to the financial world of Charlotte and beyond.”
Mechanical Engineer, Accelerated Development Technologies, Trane Technologies
Major: Engineering Physics
“Queens helped me prepare for life after graduation by providing a diversified education. Professors, coaches, and staff helped me do it all – from my degree to sports and professional opportunities. Developing so many different skills allowed me to become well-rounded and gave me a ‘leg-up’ in my career.”
Prepared Students – Preferred by Employers
“As an alum, it is incredibly rewarding to return to Queens and engage with such a talented pool of students. Queens’ well-rounded education, enriched by internship opportunities, international experiences and a tight-knit community, helps prepare graduates to enter the workforce.”
