Deanellys Rivera Testimonial

How has your master’s program impacted your personal and professional growth?  

- My master's program helped shape my views on various topics throughout these past couple of years. It allowed me to see and dream of how far my professional career could actually go. 

How has the master’s program prepared you for your future career goals?

- This master's program prepared me extremely well. The challenges I faced taught me how to thrive in adversity and succeed in the process. The professors I had during my time at Lasell were excellent. They took their time with their lectures and answered every single one of my questions. They gifted me with invaluable knowledge that I am positive will help me in my future career.

Can you share a particular project or experience you found especially valuable during your time in the program?

- Being a big fan of Disney, I was particularly excited to partake in a project for one of my classes in which I developed an entire media kit for Disney's 50th Anniversary Celebration from start to finish. 

How has your perspective on your field of study or industry changed since the beginning of the program? 

- I never thought that I would master communications quite frankly. However, having an interest in the subject turned into appreciation, which later turned into respect for the subject and those who continuously work hard in the field to report the truth. A big thank you to all the professors and advisors who helped me get to this point in my journey. Your hard work is valued and cherished.
