Student Profiles
Roberto Rivera '18, '20
English, Spanish and Italian & Education
Roberto Rivera combined a B.A. in English literature and Spanish and Italian with a master’s degree in education to become an ESL teacher in the Lawrence schools.
My professors didn’t just make me an English teacher. They made me a teacher: someone who can work with children and teach them properly, whatever they need.
Lisa Degou '18
Political Science & Mathematics
As Student Government Association president, Lisa Degou meets with Chancellor Moloney every month to negotiate for student interests.
I fell in love with all the opportunities and the diversity here.
Franchesca Arias '20
Sociology & Spanish
Honors student Franchesca Arias is passionate about studying abroad after completing a summer program in Valencia, Spain.
Study abroad is one of those life-changing experiences. When you’re immersed in the culture, you realize you have the ability to learn every single aspect of that culture and what they’re going through socially and politically.
Maddie May Scott '19
Music Performance & World Languages
During her final semester at UMass Lowell, Maddie May Scott’s band was invited by rock royalty Melissa Etheridge to join the all-star lineup playing on Etheridge’s annual seven-night spring cruise.
The thing I like about this school is that it is so balanced. There’s a lot of variety on campus. And there are things going on all the time.
Jade Catlin '25
Political Science
Political science major and lacrosse player Jade Catlin is making her mark as the team’s leading scorer while preparing for a career as a criminal defense attorney.
My goal is to go to the NCAA Tournament. When we get on the board there, this program is going to skyrocket, and it just takes a few small steps to get there first.
