Zoey Anderson ’15

During my last year of college, I was really worried about what I was going to do next with dance. I didn’t know how I was going to accomplish everything I wanted to. Marymount taught me that word of mouth and letters of recommendation are really important for booking jobs. It’s helpful if someone can say, ‘Hey, this girl is good for your company—see what she has to offer you.’ Thankfully MMC was able to do that for me. I would go into the dance office and we would talk about the main companies and things I was interested in, and they helped me make decisions. If they felt like I wasn’t a good fit for a company, they would be honest, and steer me another way. Because Parsons was a goal of mine, and it had so many alums from Marymount, faculty knew exactly what I was getting into and was able to tell me what to expect. They talked to the right people about me, and invited them to our gala. Having Marymount’s help made all the difference.
