Why did you choose Madonna University?
I chose Madonna University because it was close to home and it had an excellent reputation.

What do you think makes the experience and education at Madonna Special?
All of my professors were extremely dedicated and passionate professors. They truly cared about students, which included me the student and the students I would be entrusted with. The small class size was also a plus for personalized attention.

What have you been doing since graduation, career-wise? (graduate school, employer?)
When I first graduated 11 years ago, I started working at Plymouth High School in their FCS department. I was there for seven years and then I moved over to East Middle School. I have been here for five years. Just recently I accepted a position at Ohio University as an associate lecturer and program coordinator. I will start at OU in August of 2016.

How has your Madonna degree played a role in your current position?
My Madonna degree has led me to a new challenge in my career. I will be lecturing and also responsible for growing a department.

What has been your most rewarding professional or personal experience since graduating?
My most rewarding experience is that I now will have the opportunity to be like the professors that so greatly inspired me. It is my turn to inspire the next generations of educators.
