BMT Web Team

Christine Gagne
Co-Project Leader & Senior Technical Editor

I am currently a senior in Wentworth’s BMT Program. I live on campus but I am from Newport, Vermont. One aspect of the BMT program that I really appreciate is the flexibility that it provides to its graduates. For example, BMT graduates are able to pursue careers in sales, marketing, new product development, and in many other areas. This is important to me because it means that I can explore many different career areas until I find one that best fits my interests. A lot of my time is reserved for class work, but in my free time I enjoy shopping, seeing movies, and being with friends. I feel privileged to be a part of the Web Team because I have learned so much, from communication skills to leadership skills. Plus, it’s great to be able to step back and see how much you’ve accomplished.
