Alumnae Insights Panel shares insights into the business field

We welcomed five alumnae back to Mother McAuley this week to speak on a panel about their specialized career in the business field.

Students heard from a Director of Operations at Amazon, Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch, Assistant Account Executive at Leo Burnett, Finance Analyst at Motorola Solutions, and our very own VP of Administration and CFO at Mother McAuley. These alumnae provided insight on their educational/career pathway, daily job responsibilities, how McAuley prepared them for college, and much more. This special series is coordinated by the College Counseling and Alumnae Departments. With gratitude to our panelists (from left):

  • Regina Engel Mergenthaler '12, Amazon - Director of Operations (logistics)
  • Beth Meyers Shibata '03, McAuley VP of Administration & Chief Financial Officer
  • Catalina Delgado '19, Advertising at Leo Burnett
  • Nell  Vandeveld '14, Merril Lynch Wealth Management Group - Financial Advisor
  • Rosie Pedroza Wantuck '20, Motorola Solutions - Fixed Video Finance Analyst, Internship in the finance department of the Lyric Opera

The panelists are pictured with junior Lucy Lakawitch '26 (center), who assisted during the panel, and Maria McCormack Lappe '16 (far right), Associate Director of Alumnae Relations here at McAuley, who moderated the panel.
