Tell us about your educational journey and what it has meant to you.
When I first started as a student, I'd never have expected to be able to get done my associate's, much less a doctorate's some day. I faced a lot of challenges while attending Atlantic Cape - including a gap year - and every step of the way the school's faculty and administrators helped support me to the finish line!

Yes. I graduated from Atlantic Cape in 2011 with my Associate Degree in Communication.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
I find working with students, visiting schools and helping with career exploration events to be the most rewarding.
