Why did you choose Siena Heights University?
"My colleagues recommended Siena. As a practicing Catholic, Siena’s Catholic affiliation made it seem meant to be. I was able to work full time and complete the 30 credits within 2 1/2 years. I found it convenient and the pace guaranteed that the process was not dragging.
"I also had a great advisor who was one of my instructors as well. I had the best experience at a time when I was rediscovering myself. I found the coursework to be very introspective. My finding Siena or Siena finding me was destiny."
What are your plans for the future?
"At the time achieving my bachelor’s degree was a personal goal. I had always thought if I attained the associate's degree, that would be sufficient. When both my brothers surpassed me and received their bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I knew I could do so as well. I know with the education I’ve recieved at Siena I will continue to advance in my field."
