Testimonial – Kaylee Saenz, Post-Professional OT Student
[00:00:00] Kaylee Saenz (Student): I’m an occupational therapist. I wanted to get the doctorate just to kind of get a leg up. I do eventually want to go into leadership and management. I thought this would be the best route to get me there. So I graduated with my master’s from this campus, and when I applied for my current position, my employer was actually like, “Oh, you graduated from St. Augustine. We love their students.” Once I got hired, everyone was like, “Oh, USA. A couple of the graduates work here. We love them. They’re great.”
