Speakers: Katie MacDonald, First Year Student at Cape Breton University

When did you first receive Glean and were there any key challenges you wanted help with?

Katie MacDonald: Hi, I'm Katie. I'm a first year nursing student at Cape Breton University. When I decided to go back to school, I was pretty scared, I have to say, after graduating university 20 some years ago. It was a lot. Glean helped.

Katie MacDonald: I have ADHD. I have multiple sclerosis. I'm a single mom. I have 3 sons, my own home. There's a lot going on. Glean has really cut down the time it used to take me to rewrite notes in an organized fashion.

Katie MacDonald: Having Glean to record and then transcribe everything. Magnific.

How has using Glean impacted your learning experience and how quickly did you notice this impact?

Katie MacDonald: I have to say, Glean has changed the way I study.

Katie MacDonald: My stress level went from like astronomical to next to none.

Would you recommend Glean to other students?

Katie MacDonald: Anybody who's returning to school after a period away, I would highly recommend Glean.

Katie MacDonald: Really, really great tool for studying, especially when you've been out of the loop for quite a long time.
