BYUI Finance Graduate – 2012

“Northwest Arkansas is a great place to live, especially for business students. It’s got a small-town feel, but with heavy hitters like Walmart, Tyson Foods, and J.B. Hunt around, there’s serious business energy. People come from all over the world, bringing fresh ideas that really open your mind. It’s changed how I see business, and I’ve jumped into projects that make a global difference—all from this small, but growing southern town. Plus, there’s hiking and biking when you need a breather, and cool places like Crystal Bridges in Bentonville for inspiration. It’s a chill yet exciting place to start something big.”

BYUI Supply Chain/Finance Graduate – 2018

“I enjoy working at a company with southern values that teaches you should put your faith and family first before work. I feel most centered while my job allows me the flexibility to spend time with my family as well as serve in the church and does not steal my evening and weekend time. I am grateful to be raising a family in a community that is family friendly with events that my family can enjoy together. All the while working for a Fortune 500 company and competing against the best.”

BYUI Marketing Graduate – 2018

“I love that Northwest Arkansas offers the perfect blend of small-town living and big-town amenities, making it an ideal place to live, work, and grow. As a Walmart associate, I appreciate the opportunity to work for a company that contributes to the betterment of the community, while also providing me with a fulfilling career. I take pride in knowing that my business decisions have the potential to make a real difference in the lives of customers so they can save money and live better.”
