“Since receiving my associate’s degree from Bay Path in 1987, I’ve always been fond of my alma mater. I had always wanted to return and finish my bachelor’s degree, but the timing was never just right. When I heard Bay Path was opening a campus in Greater Boston and offering the One-Day-A-Week Saturday College, it was finally the right time for me to return. I was the first student accepted at the Burlington Campus!

I have spent more than 20 years working my way up the ladder at Fidelity Investments in Boston, and gaining knowledge in the world of business. However when I returned to Bay Path to pursue my bachelor’s degree, I learned how to apply my business expertise to different aspects and in my courses, I understood how the information came together.

During the One-Day program, I became friends with a great group of women, who are just amazing. We were at Bay Path because we wanted to earn our college degrees and through our camaraderie, we inspired each other to achieve our goals. As Bay Path did in the past, the College has given me the education, and confidence, needed to branch out and start my own business.
