"I believe that my master’s degree from Regis landed me the job!"

Read About Maribeth's Regis Experience

Maribeth Castillo, ‘16
M.S. Organizational Leadership
M.S. Project Leadership and Management

Maribeth Castillo began her journey with Regis University in 2013 and holds dual master’s degrees from Regis in Organizational Leadership and Project Leadership and Management. She now works as a program manager at Johnson Controls, a multinational company that produces fire, HVAC and security equipment for buildings.

Could you tell us a little about your professional journey so far?
Maribeth: When I started the MSOL program in 2013, I was a customer service rep at Verizon, where I sold and fixed phones. I had zero project management experience. But I did not give up, I enrolled in the Regis program and I became a member of the Project Management Institute (PMI) Mile-Hi chapter, where I volunteered for events and was a mentor and mentee.

The folks I connected with at PMI recommended me for a role as a project coordinator working on internal team projects. The interview went well, and I was given an offer. I believe that my master’s degree from Regis landed me the job!

One year later I was promoted to project manager, then junior program manager six months later and then full program manager six months after that — three promotions in three years.

How did your experiences at Regis prepare you for your current role?
Maribeth: The MSOL program opened doors for me in human resources, people management and being a leader in any field. The project management program was more granular and taught me how to lead and manage projects. Through both programs, I feel I was aided and equipped to take on leadership roles.

Do you have any advice for aspiring organizational leadership or project management professionals?
Maribeth: Advancing your education is what will make you different and stand out — that’s what employers are looking for and it provides an edge. It shows that you’re determined and ambitious and willing to put in the effort to complete a degree program.
