"The connections I made with faculty, staff and fellow students are what ensured my success in my program and ultimately in securing a job."
My name is Carly Turner. I'm an Austrailian native, a Saint Mary's basketball player and a double alum. I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Business Administration and followed it with a Masters in the Professional MBA Program, graduating in 2019. I'm currently a Marketing Manager at Knowi Analytics.
I chose Saint Mary's College because I knew that relying on a future basketball career was unrealistic. I wanted to get a solid education in a field that would open doors and create opportunities for me. As soon as I visited I knew I had made the right choice, I fell in love with the beautiful campus. The small class sizes really appealed to me, I knew that I wouldn't be successful or challenged enough in a large, lecture style classes.
Not easily!!!! A lot of weekends were spent doing homework and reading so I would be prepared for the week ahead.
I learned so much - how to understand the business world as a whole, how to connect and network with business professionals, and ultimately to be confident in my abilities and what I can offer my employers.

achieving your goals. The path you take doesn't matter, only that you complete the journey.
