”
I was a stay-at-home mom. Supply chain sparked my interest. My first class was like, ‘Define supply chain management in your own words.’ I thought to myself, ‘Oh Gosh, what I can think of… I’m a mom, yes, I’m a supply chain manager at home!’ I have to say that my associate’s degree to supply chain management was the best thing ever, and it really helped me grow as a person, as a mom, and gave me the opportunity to get back in the economy.

I always tell the students that I mentor now, there is no clean-cut pathway to different goals and avenues that you can achieve. It’s not always a linear path, and if you stay on the course and have good, supportive people behind you, you will succeed.

Going into the medical assistant program was really the best thing for me. By getting real-world experience, learning about medicine, learning about healthcare, and getting to experience it first hand with the externship that was provided.

The STEM courses at Bergen Community Colleges were very challenging, which helped me transition to engineering courses. These challenging courses made me think differently, which helped me to improve my problem-solving skills, which will be indispensable in my future career as a chemical engineer.

Rowan College at Burlington County is definitely one of the best places that you can go to launch your career. I’ve found that the teachers are incredibly acceptable, and that they’re incredibly passionate about teaching students. They can also speak to their real-life experiences in the field. Its not that they’re completely out of touch with what’s going on in cyber security, because they’ve worked in the field, and they are working in the field.
