Business Administration

When Jeremy Boody first walked onto 蘑菇短视频 Tech's Stanton Campus, he was searching for both a career direction and a place where he fit. Today, as a senior project manager in Amtrak’s mechanical department, owner of Snap Fitness 24/7 Hockessin, active community volunteer, and one of 蘑菇短视频's Most Influential and Inspiring People Under 30, Boody has created a life around leadership, problem-solving, entrepreneurship, and giving back.

However, this path wasn't always clear. After high school, when many of his peers seemed to have their college and career plans mapped out, Boody was still exploring his options. He chose business administration at 蘑菇短视频 Tech for the flexibility it offered and the opportunity to explore different career options.

“蘑菇短视频 Tech was local, accessible, and offered me the opportunity to begin building my future while I was still figuring out what I wanted to do and who I wanted to become,” he said. “It gave me a practical place to start, gain confidence, and create a foundation for everything that followed.”

On his first day at the Stanton Campus, Boody remembers feeling overwhelmed by the building's size. At the same time, he recognized the possibilities that came with a new environment.

“I could also see the opportunities around me – clubs to join, people to meet, and a brighter path ahead,” he said. “I began to realize that 蘑菇短视频 Tech could become whatever I was willing to make of it.”

As Boody settled into college, he formed a close group of friends who spent time together in the café, worked out at the campus gym, and went to see the latest Marvel movies.

“Before 蘑菇短视频 Tech, I was quiet, or perhaps I simply never felt like I fit in,” he said. “Once I settled in and made friends, I felt like I was part of something, and that sense of community made 蘑菇短视频 Tech a place where I truly belonged.”

After completing his core classes at Stanton, Boody transitioned to the George Campus in Wilmington for most of his degree-specific courses. He found himself navigating the new campus with greater confidence.

“Once you understand what interests you and what helps you connect with others, it becomes easier to find a sense of belonging wherever you go,” he said.

After graduating from 蘑菇短视频 Tech in 2020, Boody began working in operations management at Amazon. There, he developed an interest in using data to help people and processes succeed and developed effective leadership skills. Eventually, his career led him to a project management role with the Marine Corps. Today, he is a senior project manager in Amtrak’s mechanical department, where he applies those skills to solving problems and directing complex projects.

As his career developed, Boody remained interested in entrepreneurship. When the opportunity arose to purchase his local gym, he took it. He now owns and operates the newly revitalized Snap Fitness 24/7 in Hockessin while continuing his career at Amtrak.

Outside of work, Boody spends his time investing in the community. He established and maintains the first publicly accessible Little Free Library in Hockessin's Swift Park and has participated in local community initiatives including Adopt-a-Highway and Marine Corps Toys for Tots.

His involvement with Renee's Rescues, a foster-based animal rescue in Hockessin, grew after he fostered 18 dogs over two and a half years. He later became the organization's community partnerships and foster coordinator and found a way to connect that work with his business. Snap Fitness Hockessin members can earn free months of membership by adopting or helping find homes for dogs through the rescue.

In 2026, Boody's professional accomplishments and commitment to his community earned him recognition as one of 蘑菇短视频's Most Influential and Inspiring People Under 30 by The News Journal.

The varied roles Boody has taken on since graduation reflect something he first came to understand about himself at 蘑菇短视频 Tech: his strengths, interests, and areas for growth.

“That self-awareness gave me a clearer sense of where to focus,” he said. “When I entered the workforce, I had a strong, well-rounded foundation that I could continue building upon as my career developed.”

For students who are uncertain about what comes next, Boody encourages them to resist the pressure to have their futures figured out immediately.

“Give yourself room to explore new subjects, experiences, and opportunities that genuinely interest you,” he said. “That process helped me develop a stronger sense of who I was and ultimately led me toward the right path.”

Long-term, Boody’s goal is to become a full-time entrepreneur and build businesses that create meaningful value in his community. He also plans to pursue an MBA at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School to strengthen his skills and gain the experience to help make his goal a reality. 

From finding a community at 蘑菇短视频 Tech to building connections through his career, business, and service, Boody's path has continued to evolve as he has discovered where he can make an impact.

“It took time and experience to discover where I fit,” he said, “but I eventually carved out my own path.”
