MEET THE ADMINI- STARS BEHIND THE SCENES AT MOLLOY CSD:
ANNEMARIE MCMAHON:
Annemarie McMahon is an administrative assistant at the Molloy University Speech, Language, and Hearing Center. She has been with Molloy University for 10 years and the Molloy Speech, Language, and Hearing Center for 7 years. To say she is the backbone of the speech center is an understatement. Anmarie’s smile greets the clients as they enter. She works with Professor Ascher to ensure the clinical schedule is set and runs smoothly each semester, including all session recordings. This is no easy feat with over 100 clients served each week at the center! Additionally, Annemarie is always happy to help the students troubleshoot computer issues, while also ensuring affiliation agreements with externship sites are up-to-date, and managing clinic finances and supplies. When asked what the most rewarding part of her job is, she said the interactions with clients and caregivers, whether children or stroke patients. Thank you, Annemarie. We would be lost without you. JENNIFER TENNET-ARMOUR:
Jennifer Tennet-Armour is the CSD Administrative Coordinator at Molloy University. Jen began her journey with the department as an Administrative Assistant in September 2021 and stepped into the role of Administrative Coordinator in October 2024. In her current role, she manages the day-to-day operations and ensures the smooth functioning of all administrative aspects of the department. From overseeing budgets to coordinating course schedule changes, assisting professors like Professor Alimonti and Dr. Datta, and supporting students across all three programs, Jen is at the heart of departmental logistics. She plays a key role in organizing colloquiums and assists with classroom management, always ensuring both faculty and students have what they need to succeed. For Jen, one of the most rewarding parts of her job is watching students grow. This includes seeing undergraduates overcome their fears, graduate students evolve into mentors, and witnessing the supportive connections that form across levels of study. Recently, Jen was encouraged by Dr. Datta and Dr. Reilly to step into teaching, expanding her role in the Compassionate Healthcare summer academy for high school students. Jen took a leap outside her comfort zone, leading a workshop that included a vocal hygiene exercise using a straw, especially useful for singers. The experience came full circle when her own daughter participated in the class. With this inspiring moment behind her, Jen is looking toward the future with plans to continue teaching and expanding her role in academic development. Without a doubt, the recent accomplishment of obtaining a Master of Science degree in Instructional Design, combined with her administrative experience and growing passion for student engagement and education will continue to make her invaluable.
