Within the mass communication program, I was learning how to be on the radio in my first year. Not many people can say that. I just really felt that there were more opportunities here for me at Brenau in my program and in what I wanted to do, then there would’ve been had I gone to another school.

I feel accomplished and ready for the next chapter to start grad school at Brenau in January. I felt a lot of support here that allowed me to fulfill my promise to get my degree.

The ladies in the cohort were from different industries. It was invaluable to hear what other people were going through at the time or what they had been through. Everyone was very honest about their experiences, professionally and personally.
