“Because of my background in Anthropology, I bring something to the table that someone with a business or statistics degree doesn’t.”
A degree from Mount Holyoke, a world-renowned women's liberal arts institution, allowed me to explore the ways science interacts with the world.
At MHC, I majored in Dance and minored in Film, now I run a videography business in California.
"During my study abroad in Tokyo, I listened to Japanese people's views on Japan's society, culture and foreign relations.
As a film studies major I learned to look at visual mediums with a critical eye and experience film from the production side.
“At Mount Holyoke I’ve seen women take charge and create beauty from nothing but an idea. The capacity to impact change is immense. Be bold, be brilliant.”
I still carry what I learned in my Middle Eastern Studies major, the people I met, and my experiences abroad into all that I do.
I had to strive to be an effective, clear, and authoritative communicator in order to make sure that everything ran smoothly.
"The best classrooms center on collaboration, exchange, and diversity of thought and experience. This was something I learned at MHC."
My study of psychology helped me discover that understanding that people are people, first, is the key to better work.
