Lisa Degou '18
Political Science & Mathematics
As Student Government Association president, Lisa Degou meets with Chancellor Moloney every month to negotiate for student interests.

Kelly Dankese '20
Accounting
As an accounting co-op at iRobot, business administration major Kelly Dankese of Wilmington discovered a symbiotic relationship between what she learned in the classroom and the work she was doing for the Bedford-based tech company.
I didn’t realize how lucky I was to get this co-op at iRobot. They have a lot of women in leadership roles, which was really cool to see. I could tell it was a really good fit for me.
Maylis Brito '20
Finance
Thanks to her co-op and internship experiences at Kronos, business administration major Maylis Brito has broadened her career options beyond her concentration in finance.
Now that I’ve worked in marketing, I’m not just theorizing about my future; it’s actually something I can see myself getting into.
Pratibha Gautam '20
Economics
Pratibha Gautam’s job at a medical device incubator inspired her to pursue a career in health economics.
I came to understand that by studying economics, I could ... address equity issues.
Jennifer Schultz '21
Mechanical Engineering
When she was younger, Jennifer Schultz didn’t want to be an engineer. Yet here she is, a summer intern in the office of Nonspec, a company that offers low-cost prosthetic limb systems. She even trekked to India with UMass Lowell’s B.V.B. Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program.
There was no way I was going to be an engineer.
