For work, Sara Sherwood helps people. As a graduate of the
University of Maine’s nutrition program who’s currently pursuing a master of
health administration at Saint Joseph’s College Online, she’s well qualified
for the job.
Sara, who graduated from UMaine in 2008, works as a Nursing
Home Administrator at Collier’s Rehab and Nursing Center in Ellsworth, Maine.
Planning to complete her MHA by December of this year, she credits both UMaine
and Saint Joseph’s for her professional success.
“They each gave me a fundamental knowledge base that I’ve
been able to apply to my work,” said Sara. “UMaine gave me the background in
nutrition, and Saint Joseph’s has given me a broader education in health care.
They complement each other really well.”
In fact, Saint Joseph’s online MHA is specifically designed to
complement programs like UMaine’s nutrition program. The broad focus of the
MHA, paired with an undergraduate degree in a more specialized field, prepares
students for endless career opportunities. In addition, the MHA’s convenient
online delivery allows students to work and study simultaneously.
Even more important than the job opportunities, according to
Sara, is the ability to help people.
“I’m a caregiver at heart; I’ve always known I was meant to
help,” said Sara. “Deciding to pursue my master degree has helped me do just
that!”

Joseph’s, students can pursue lucrative careers in many areas, just to name a
