Meet Unity College Student Emma

089e

Emma recently took the Strategic Management of Innovation course at Unity College with Professor Sarah Lozanova.

"Before I started at Unity I had been working in the horticulture industry with tropical plants for about five years. I love working with plants, but I wanted to shift my focus to encompass more sustainability in my work. I studied sustainability in my undergrad at UMass, and it's something that I'm passionate about, so when I found the Environmental Studies and Sustainability Masters program at Unity, I was really excited and wanted to jump right in!

I currently live in Providence, Rhode Island, and part of the reason I chose Unity is that the entire program is online, and because of that I have the flexibility to work and participate in the program. Other reasons I chose Unity are because it is affordable, the online distance learning program is well established, and the core values of the school align with my own.

I'm already getting a lot of out my education, and since I'm towards the end of the program I am making connections from my past and present classes. I'm currently in the beginning stages of creating a Sustainability Team at my workplace, and my classes have given me the tools necessary to move forward with that project. My Strategic Management of Innovation class was really interesting, and I really liked being able to focus on my professional goals for my in-class projects.

In the future, I hope to be able to continue to work in the commercial horticulture industry as a sustainability analyst or consultant. I'm already working towards that goal and I am grateful for the things I have learned at Unity because they have given me the confidence and the knowledge to take steps to achieve my goals!"
