Student Researcher
Three sociology students and Professor Susan Smith-Cunnien traveled to Mali in West Africa for J-term 2009 to complete a project for the Mali Agribusiness Center in conjunction with a government agricultural research center and an agricultural college in Mali.
My degree from St. Thomas has led to some great opportunities. Since graduating from UST I worked as a Deputy Sheriff, spent a summer working for NYPD’s Counterterrorism Division and Deputy Commissioner of Operations, and earned my Master’s Degree in National Security Studies from Georgetown University.
Professionally, I have worked as a Security Training Supervisor and Security Account Manager at Seagate Technology. My current position is as the Physical Security Manager at Goodrich Sensor Systems in Burnsville, MN.
