"Marymount taught me to be curious," shares LaToya Hearns, a 2003 graduate whose Marymount experience led to continued studies at the University of Southern California an internship to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and a full-time employment at the University of California Los Angeles as the senior contracts and grants manager.
"It's survival of the fittest' at USC and UCLA, and Marymount definitely prepared me to do well there. But in addition to a strong academic foundation, i gained so many valuable life skills," Latoya says.
"I appreciated being exposed to different cultures at Marymount and learning to be culturally sensitive In my work at UCLA, we see a plethora of cultures, so it is important to explain things in different ways based on various cultures. All those cultural experiences and activities at Marymount College prepared me to be able to relate. And when you can relate to people, they see you as being the same as they are," LaToya says.
