My expectation coming to St. Kate’s was that my education would prepare me to use my voice regardless of the professional path I chose — and it has. This has been so valuable, especially in sales, which is historically a male-dominated profession. Having women leaders from 3M speak to my classes allowed me to see that it is possible for women to drive sales, business, and excellence.

Promoted to Student Lead, Department of Public Safety
One of the things that helped me the most in finding a job postcollege was my student job on campus. Working in Public Safety, I learned crisis management, communication skills, and how to be a leader. It gave me the opportunity to grow as a person and as a student, got me to where I am at today, and opened up opportunities that I would not have otherwise had.
