Grace McGrath

Majoring in Business, Minoring in Education
University at Albany, Class of 2021
From Ithaca, New York

As a sophomore at SUNY Albany, I have become a hard-working student while at the same time being involved on campus. I would like to work in either marketing or international relations in the future. Marketing would help me utilize my creative thinking because you have to always be ready to come up with new ideas. While international relations would allow me to use my people skills to solve important global matters.
