Markisha K. Lea

Class of 2008, B.A. in Social Science, Psychology & American Studies and Ethnicity

Where have you worked and/or studied since you graduated from USC?

USC Dornsife College Advising Office as an academic advisor for undecided/undeclared students, specifically with those who are student athletes.

What was the most beneficial thing you did as a student at USC to prepare you for post-graduation?

Going to the career center to create a resume and interning at my current office (Office of College Advising). As a student athlete on the Women’s Basketball team, it was important for me to develop relationships with professors, staff members, and alumni around campus.

What course did you enjoy the most?

I had a few favorite courses: ANTH 371, PSYC 463, PSYC 360 and CTCS 466.

If you were an undergraduate again, is there anything that you would do differently?

Definitely–I would have tried a little bit harder in my major classes, gone to more office hours and taken advantage of more resources on campus; not just ones offered through athletics. Also, I would have taken OT 250 and possibly minored in OT.
