Career Day 2009
Posted on: February 11, 2009

February 11 was Career Day at Connelly. Thirteen alumnae, all representing different professions, returned to Connelly to share insights into their chosen careers. In a special morning schedule, students were able to participate in two programs of their choice, learn about a profession, and feel the connection with former Connelly students. Sharing their careers, left to right (front) in the picture above: Connelly Director of Alumnae Relations Cheryl Anderson-Butler '85; Evangelina Savala '00 - Response-Ability, a Ministry of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus; Terri Serrato Engler '75 - LA Deputy District Attorney; Heather Schley Labow '88 - Criminal Defense Attorney; Shirlee Cachuela Oakley '88 - Non Profit Director/Wellness Coach-Educator/Corporate Marketing; Kristen Fujita Thomas '93 - Environmental Consultant; Julie Chang Olcott '94 - Artist; Sue Gesto '83 - District Sales Manager/Glaxo Smith Kline Pharmaceuticals; Tiffany Wallock Brosnan '89 - Attorney; (Back) Julia Collins Motherway '86 - Physician/Internist; Joanne Daybrow Stone '79 - Paralegal/UCLA Instructor; Gabrielle Valenti '75 - Orthodontist/DDS; Naomi Coe '01 - Interior Designer; Chris Dausch Essex '85 - Speech Language Pathologist. Connelly's annual Career Day is popular with the students and has proven to be a valuable tool in helping students plan for their futures.
