She recently reflected on the role her Bryn Mawr education has played in her career success:
"I believe that a liberal arts education gives you a broad, strong foundational knowledge base that allows you to continue to learn and be curious about the world. In today’s business environment one has to keep learning to keep up. I am grateful for the amazing women that have supported me over the years. It is more than just a group of friends from school that I talk, text or email almost every week, but it is the broader group - the class of 1989 - that is full of women who support each other everyday. This is something truly unique to Bryn Mawr."
Sentovich double majored in Philosophy and Political Science with a minor in Economics.
