BW proud

Engler credits her success to the superb faculty and experiences at BW that helped her along the way.

"As a student at BW, I kept a rigorous schedule with the mindset that I would experience everything the university had to offer: performances, training, extra classes, workshops, sorority life, clubs, etc.," Engler says.

"At times, I felt I spread myself too thin, but the work ethic, perseverance and time management skills needed to keep such a schedule allowed me to hone an efficiency that only helps me succeed today."
