“ NECC Helped Me Get There”

Meet Shalimar Quiles ’08:

SHALIMAR QUILES received her Associate of Arts Degree in General Studies from NECC in 2008. Since that time, she has gone on to earn a bachelor’s degree in communications from Simmons College, a master’s degree in education from Merrimack College, and, more recently, a rewarding career as Principal at the James F. Hennessey School in Lawrence. She credits NECC with helping to launch her path toward success:

At NECC I received the college experience I never knew I needed. From internships to mentorships, I was not only challenged to pursue a career that matched my passion, but also to develop the organizational and interpersonal skills necessary for leadership.
