"The graduate program in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution has equipped me with effective conflict resolutions skills. I am effectively applying these skills at my present job as an advisor in an education travel non-profit organization. The graduate program at UMass Lowell reinforced my belief in the effectiveness of peace and made me realize and appreciate the role of women at the forefront of peace building. While at UMass Lowell, I met notable individuals who have devoted their lives towards peace and conflict resolution."
