I came to Marymount Manhattan College in pursuit of becoming a dancer. I was interested in how I could use the body to express my thoughts and emotions and communicate ideas. I ended up with Studio Art as my major—falling in love with the body in relation to art history, visual arts, and painting. My studies abroad in Italy and at MMC helped to solidify my choice to be an artist in New York City.

Going to Marymount allowed me to forge deeper connections with my peers and professors. I still keep in touch with many of them today, and we update each other on new jobs and any other potential career opportunities that might be useful.

Between learning from our experienced journalist professors to connecting with successful alumni for internships, where I am now is a direct result of my time at MMC. I was able to strengthen my writing skills, hone in on my journalistic voice, and fully immerse myself in the media industry from day one.

I chose Marymount Manhattan College because the faculty understood the value of a small community that fostered intimate relationships between students and educators. I would have never had this kind of success had it not been for the environment that was provided by the College and the prestigious educators they employ.

At MMC I experienced the same sense of community I had back home; it is a place where I learned to embrace my strengths and improve on my weaknesses. The classes I have taken at Marymount gave me a strong educational foundation to continue graduate studies at a top business school. My professors truly offered me valuable advice and inspiration during my years at MMC, and supported me as I applied for graduate school.
