Katie Low Anderson '00: CFO of California Pizza Kitchen
"Marymount gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams and become a leader, which has been instrumental in my career and in my life. I loved being surrounded by so many smart and ambitious women who have gone on to be incredibly successful. My time at Marymount truly empowered me to be confident and poised as a woman in the board room and in the business world." -
Kiki Ryan Burger '01: Account Director, Sunshine Sachs
"Marymount shaped me during my most developmental years, by encouraging me to explore and trust the person I am, listening to my ideas and introducing me to new people. Marymount also taught me to appreciate the importance of relationships with other women, especially in the workplace but also in my personal life. I no doubt would be a different person today if it weren't for my four years as part of the Marymount community. I truly believe I am a wiser and stronger person for it." -
Margy Slattery '07: Associate Editor, Politico Magazine
"I feel so grateful for the academic experience I had at Marymount. The small classes and excellent teachers who pushed us to think both collectively and individually created an intellectual experience that is hard to beat and one of the things I loved most about Marymount. Combined with its outward-looking, globally minded roots and mission, Marymount pushed me to truly open my mind to the world outside, something I will always value." -
Dr. Natalie Gallant '98: Medical Genetics, Miller Children's Hospital/Long Beach Memorial Medical Center; Professor of Genetic Medicine, U.C. Irvine
"For me, Marymount built an unbreakable foundation in the sciences, math, language and public speaking. With that, I was able to excel at an Ivy League institution and be accepted to multiple medical schools. Even now, as a national leader in my field of medical genetics, I draw daily on the confidence, professionalism and emphasis on collaboration I learned during my time at Marymount."
