I am super grateful for the knowledge I gained from taking this certificate because it led to my dream job. I am now a college graduate managing an international nonprofit because of my educational background. I am now working on my master’s degree so that I can further my professional career even further. I am the founder and former president of the Student United Way of NAU. Sat on the board of United Way of Flagstaff. Currently managing the Flagstaff International Relief Effort and hope to become the Program Manager of our volunteer project in Nepal within the next year! I love working with nonprofits, and I knew that I wanted to enter that sector when I graduated. Pursuing this certificate not only gave me the knowledge to do so but helped me build professional relationships as well!
