Mount St. Mary's University

I am a career switcher who finally decided to follow my passion, and it’s been the best decision that I’ve made for myself academically, and professionally! I’m so happy that I chose the lovely environment at the Mount, where I was able to go to classes on both campuses and online to fit my schedule as a mom and as an adult who needed to make ends meet. I had very knowledgeable professors who exceeded my expectations. I’m so grateful to have accomplished this through the grace of God, the help of family and the support of my professors.

I chose the Mount because I love the people and the nature surrounding the school. It is such a peaceful environment, which is part of the reason why I chose to continue my studies here. The campus is also full of beautiful people where I was blessed with amazing teammates, coaches and professors.

The Math-Certification in Secondary Education program has helped me have a clear vision of my future goals. Research, scholarship opportunities, SPARC presentations, student-teaching and building relationships with faculty were all wonderful experiences that helped me shape me to be who I am. Specifically, my student-teaching taught me that you can’t replace human connections. Meaningful relationships with my professors, mentor, supervisor and students taught me that a little help and motivation can change your life in a positive way. My goal is to inspire and empower my future students to be the best versions of themselves and live a life of significance.
