If I hadn’t had the internship experiences I had at UNE, I would not hold my current position...they were able to hire me because of my education versus the years of service. Education is everything.

I honestly do not believe that I would be where I am if it were not for the education I received at UNE. In my first semester of graduate school, I quickly realized that my education surpassed many of my fellow classmates who also majored in psychology.
