        Finance alumna Kristen Rosenberger ('10), who was always drawn to work "that feels meaningful," is keeping the National Aquarium swimming in the right direction.

        “Early in my career, I bounced around a bit, to be honest, trying out different roles and different industries, learning what I did and didn’t like,” she said. The turning point came when she worked at Catholic Relief Services, an international NGO, and the experience made her realize she belongs at “mission-oriented organizations.”
