Rachel Gilliams

MPA Graduate

Biography

I chose the Marshall MPA Program because this program is flexible and provides entry  to a variety of governmental, legal, business, and nonprofit organizations. With this program, I have a better understanding of daily engagement with the public in a professional setting. The MPA program has opened doors for me in the community, in which I have made great professional connections with. With the information I have taken from this program, I deem I can go out into the public and maintain the skills to make it more efficient and effective.

“I currently work as a graduate assistant for Marshall University Career Services and I work as an intern for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tri State. When I am not working, I volunteer with Alpha Phi Omega, the community service organization on campus. I will be graduating in May 2018, and I will be working in case development for Kisling, Nestico, & Redick, working with attorneys on case development.”

Rachel will begin work on a jurisdoctorate degree at the University of Akron beginning August, 2019.
