I am a 1999 graduate of OLMA. I hold a BA and MA from Stockton University. I started college with credits acrued during my tenure at OLMA and I attribute my success at Stockton to skills aquired as a student of OLMA. I enjoyed playing Soccer in a competitive league, clubs and extracurricular events. The personal relationships I built while at OLMA with students, faculty and alumnae have continued into my adulthood. OLMA is a great environment for a young woman to get to know herself and prepare for her life ahead.

I graduated from OLMA with 26 sisters in 1997. I went on to Cabrini University for my undergraduate degree and the Richard Stockton College for my Masters in Occupational Therapy. I treat patients in a skilled nursing home and in their homes. My first year of college was a breeze. OLMA had me working at a college level before I got there. OLMA prepared me even more so for life! These days, the news is flooded with women`s marches and women empowerment. I received this empowerment years ago from this incredible school. I`ve held numerous management positions and now balance a beautiful family and work life. I carry my values and knowledge learned as an OLMA girl with pride and it impacts all that I do. I live far away now, but every few years I like to attend a Mass or event at the school and it is always like coming home

I went to OLMA from 2003-2007 and it truly helped shape me into a college-ready, strong young woman. I used to present at open houses as a student and would always say how at OLMA, the valedictorian is a woman, the star athletes are women, the presidents of clubs and orgs are women, and this allowed us to truly thrive in a way that no where else would. As a class we experienced loss and success in a way that truly left a mark on who we all were, and we can thank OLMA for that. We were so supported in a caring, challenging environment that leaves me with so many amazing memories. I now work at a university in Philadelphia, and the women I see attending college here that graduated from OLMA continue to be some of the greatest students on our campus year to year. I am so glad that my parents allowed me to attend OLMA, it made the transition to college smooth and prepared me to become the strong, academically-ready young adult that I needed to be.
