Student Profiles
Jessica Amedee '18, '20
Public Administration
Jessica Amedee interned at the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce as the university鈥檚 first Civic Action Project fellow. The program for UMass graduate students in public policy and related fields introduced her to a network of inspiring professionals.
I met a number of people I would be able to reach out to. I also met great people from the other UMass campuses.
Kelley Leonhard '22
History
Kelley Leonhard is putting her history degree to work as COO of the Boston History Company.
I wouldn鈥檛 have had the same career trajectory without the support and encouragement of my professors here.
Rhondyna Reth '26
Graphic Design
Rhondyna Reth is blending global experiences, cultural advocacy and graphic design at UML 鈥� a path made possible by scholarships and smart financial planning.
Through graphic design, I want to share our stories in a way that others my age can connect with and understand.
Sean Perry '18
Criminal Justice
After earning a master's degree in criminal justice, Sean Perry plans to pursue a Ph.D. in criminology with the ultimate goal of becoming a professor or private sector or government researcher whose studies could help improve police departments or criminal justice systems.
I received a really good education here. I feel like I never got anything less than Ivy Leaguers did.
Hannah Daly '18
Political Science
Hannah Daly researched the opioid crisis with one professor and the alt-right with another. She鈥檚 already published the results of a public opinion survey she helped design, and now she wants to use her research skills to influence public policy on behalf of women.
I really love the Political Science Department at 杏吧传媒. The professors really want you to succeed.
