Tyler Sheltry<\/p><\/div>\n

Name<\/strong>:\u00a0 Tyler Sheltry<\/p>\n

Major<\/strong>: Laboratory Science<\/p>\n

Hometown<\/strong>: Andover<\/p>\n

High School and Year of Graduation:<\/strong>\u00a0 Essex Agricultural and Technical High School in 2013<\/p>\n

Did you attend another college or university before enrolling at NECC? If so, did you earn a certificate or degree? <\/strong>I went to University of Maine at Machias as a marine biology major, but only for one year.<\/p>\n

What brought you to NECC?<\/strong> The school had a degree program that interested me, was not far from home, and was affordable<\/p>\n

Why did you choose your major? <\/strong>I have always been good in science and math classes, so being a chemistry major seemed to make sense<\/p>\n

Were you involved in any extracurricular activities at NECC? <\/strong>I was assistant stage manager and worked the tech booth as the light board operator for the 2019 production of A Christmas Carol<\/p>\n

What are you planning for fall, 2020?<\/strong> I am planning on getting a job in field, and am currently trying to get an internship started at Pfizer<\/p>\n

What did you appreciate most about NECC?<\/strong> The community feel from the students and staff<\/p>\n

Was there a faculty or staff member who was especially helpful?<\/strong> If yes, how did they help you? There are two, Alisa Bucchiere, who helped to push me out of my comfort zone and encourage me, and Marguerite White-Jeanneau, who told me that she felt I was going in the right direction when I was questioning if I was cut out for this program and career path.<\/p>\n

What surprised you most about NECC?<\/strong> How open and inviting all of the faculty and staff are to answering questions and helping.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give an incoming NECC freshman?<\/strong> If you have a question ask it, whether it be in class, someone in the offices, or walking around campus they want to help you.<\/p>\n

What would people be surprised to know about you? <\/strong>As part of my high school environmental science program I was HAZMAT certified.<\/p>\n

What were the biggest challenges that you faced in pursuit of your associate degree?<\/strong> Balancing school, work, and personal life.<\/p>\n

What are you long term career\/education plans?<\/strong> I want to get a job in field, work for a a year or two then continue to a bachelors degree<\/p>\n
