I also felt that I had a strong skill set to offer potential employers. For me, the biggest takeaway from the MSHM program was learning to communicate professionally and build on my personal skill set. I was given the chance to understand my strengths and draw on them. I was also able to address my weaknesses and had a great network of other students to help improve on them!
