Marymount University graduate student Gabrielle Mariotti was one of seven finalists in the 2016 Bienenstock Interior Design Competition for her work on a day spa specializing in treatment for multiple sclerosis patients.<\/p>\n
\u0093It\u0092s very exciting and satisfying,\u0094 said Mariotti, a McLean native. \u0093I am half-way through my design studies, so this has definitely given me some validation that I\u0092m on the right path and that I can be a highly achieving designer if I keep pushing myself in school and eventually in the workplace.\u0094<\/p>\n
Mariotti earned her bachelor\u0092s degree in business management from George Mason University. She chose Marymount\u0092s interior design graduate program because she wanted to combine her creative and artistic side with the skills she learned from studying business.<\/p>\n
\u0093I\u0092m in my fourth semester at Marymount now, and I couldn\u0092t be more sure of my decision to study interior design here,\u0094 she said.<\/p>\n
