Stephanie

BABC Alumna 2020
Communications Specialist at bioLytical Laboratories
“The degree really did make a difference. As soon as I could put that I had a degree, I immediately started getting job offers, especially in communications, which is what I wanted to do. So even though I had almost 20 years of experience doing communications, I wasn’t being considered for the majority of communications jobs, only project management jobs.”
