My Greatest Supporters

I couldn't have made it through this program without the love and support of my children, Zach, Yuri and Xoe, and my life partner, Jaime. You guys are the best! Thankful to my parents for their words of encouragement.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

While I may not have a favorite St. Mary's memory, completing this program during the pandemic is something I will never forget. Definitely won't forget the 8 hours of Zoom sessions every other Saturday!

My Next Chapter

I am looking forward to applying everything I've learned in this program, and advancing my career in the process.
