A Conversation with Lydia Carrascosa
What do you like most about your career?
I have the privilege of being a small part of watching the power of education transform people's lives. My parents instilled in me a love of learning and the importance of education. Through my career and day-to-day work, I can share this with others and assist them in their educational journey. Working with graduate students has been incredibly rewarding. Making the decision to dedicate the time and money to get an advanced degree can be a life-changing decision and seeing that come to fruition for so many students is the highlight of my career!
