Today, @lindsayinphilly works for Wendy’s as a Program Director. But back in 2001, the business major was just trying to find a college that was close to home, but, you know – not too close. <br /> <br /> She describes her time at Millersville University as, “some of the best times of my life.” She lived in the former Lenhardt Hall, high up on the sixth floor with some of her soon-to-be closest friends, playing intramural soccer (and she's an intramural champ, by the way - check out the shirt), studying for classes and letting loose on the weekends. “I had the best time at Millersville,” she shares. “I graduated on time, in four years, without changing my major – but the best part is that I always have my best friends from MU.” <br /> <br /> Today, she has her Project Management Professional® certification, the gold-star standard in the field, and an impressive résumé with roles at Nike, Abercrombie and more, several moves to major cities like Boston and Chicago, and a switch to becoming a consultant. She moved back to Philadelphia in 2025 and this June, she began work as the new Program Director for the fast-food company Wendy’s, where she’s leading the initiative to install a new point of sale system across their franchises. Oh, and she recently became an Eagles season ticket holder. Go Birds! 🦅 <br /> <br /> In layman’s terms, Kelleher describes project management as, “Leading an effort from start to finish. My job is to connect the dots, keep teams aligned, and help everyone work toward a common goal. The skills are more transferable than people realize. If you’re planning an event, running a household, or even coordinating a party, you’re already using many of the same skills a project manager uses every day.” <br /> <br /> To read the rest of of story, click on the link in @millersvilleu’s bio!
