As we grow, we develop new passions and interests that at times bleed into our work. We may even find ourselves leaning more into those interests and finding roles that align with them while still using skills we’ve learned for a different field or career, and that’s okay! As long as you find a job that you’re passionate about and that makes the best use of the skills you already have while still having room for growth, that’s all that matters!

Emma Blunck is currently enrolled at Arizona State University Online, majoring in Mass Communications and Media Studies with a focus on Media Literacy and is the Editor-in-Chief of the Spark Newsletter (online newsletter). Emma is wrapping up her final semester of her undergraduate degree as a fall intern at Rock the Vote- getting to blend her degree with her passion for advocacy. Her education journey has been messy but it’s been perfect for her! She’s happy to represent the students who don’t necessarily fall into the traditional high school to college category- her higher education journey included going straight from high school to university and having to drop out halfway through the semester, attending community college for a year before leaving for an internship, and finishing off strong on an accelerated track as a Fully Online Student.
