What is your current job and what do you like about that position?

“The coursework at Merrimack pushed me to improve my writing and thinking skills which was invaluable when I went forward with my education.”
How did your Merrimack experiences (coursework, internships, research with faculty, student club leadership, etc.) prepare you for that work?
Looking back, I think Merrimack prepared me well for my Master’s program. The coursework at Merrimack pushed me to improve my writing and thinking skills which was invaluable when I went forward with my education. The biggest thing that helped me was the kindness from the faculty at Merrimack. I wasn’t the smartest or most academically gifted, but I felt welcomed and valued in the department. It helped me gain the confidence to go to graduate school.
Do you have any particularly fond memories of Merrimack to share?
