She earned her Master of Science in Management and Organizational Leadership during one of the most challenging seasons of her life.
Samantha Pannone ’09, ’22 M.S., HR Generalist at Albertus Magnus College, was working full time, raising her children, and navigating a demanding personal season when she made the decision to return to graduate school.
She did not pause her life to do it. She learned in the middle of it.
Through the MSMOL program, Samantha began applying leadership concepts directly to her work in Human Resources. What she was learning in class started to show up in how she approached people, communication, and workplace culture.
Over time, she noticed real change in herself. Stronger confidence. More clarity. A clearer sense of direction in her career.
As a double alumna, her story reflects what it really looks like to grow while life is still moving.
