Sara Serpe, '11

"My first job was as a Sales Representative for a small, family-owned company. I sold to mainstream grocery stores, specialty retail stores, and restaurants. I also co-ran the internship program and returned to SJU each spring to recruit interns at the Career Fair and worked with current SJU students each summer."

"I heard about a sales internship opportunity with Talluto's through the Department of Food Marketing during my junior year. Learning to merchandise, market, and sell Italian Food was very appealing to me as a food marketing major and Italian Minor! After a successful summer internship I was offered a full time position upon my graduation, and I spent the first 7 years of my career learning and growing with Talluto's!"

"SJU gave me a well-rounded education, especially having a major in the Haub School of Business and a minor in the College of Arts and Sciences. It taught me to see all sides of a situation, and to understand things from different perspectives, which serves me well in my career every day."

"I had the opportunity to study abroad in Rome for a few weeks during the summer between my sophomore and junior years. I stayed with an Italian host family and really immersed myself in the language and culture. It was by far the best way to learn and practice my Italian conversational skills!"
