Margaret Perry

Hometown: Shelburne, Vermont
Undergrad alma mater: Wellesley College
Bachelor's degree: Mathematics and Computer Science

Perry describes herself as committed to the bit (the bit is just her life). All while staying committed to the bit, she was a double major in mathematics and computer science at Wellesley College. She applied to the MN program to have a career that would allow her to take the analytical skills she developed as a software engineer and use them in a way that prioritized community service. 

Perry acknowledged that it wasn’t an easy decision to go back to school. “Switching careers and going back to school is daunting. I appreciate that the MN program is accelerated while still providing a well-rounded curriculum and hundreds of practicum hours,” she said.
