New Bern yacht interior designer featured in college magazine

Cullen Moser of New Bern said she was kind of shocked for being featured in the fall edition of Meredith Magazine.

Moser is one of four former alumni of Meredith College featured in the quarterly magazines new Wings Program section that commits to adult learning and symbolizes the power that every woman has to elevate herself.

I thought it was really cool, she said. I never really thought I would be someone they would choose to do an article on.

Yet, Moser said her job, designing interiors for Hatteras Yachts, is not something most people typically think of in the field of interior design.

Its a pretty cool job, she said.

Moser graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in advertising and marketing in 2002 but, after a year and half, she decided she did not want to do that kind of work. In 2004, she enrolled at Meredith College to get an interior design degree.

I was kind of concerned I would be one of the oldest people in the program, she said, but there were actually quite a few of us folks going back to school getting another degree. I didnt fully understand their adult education program. Some of the students ranged in age from 24 (Mosers age at the time) to their 70s who graduated, which I think is great.

Meredith College was extremely comfortable and the professors were accommodating to the adult students, Moser said.

I loved the classes, she said. They were the perfect size. I was going to Carolina where the classes had 300 or 400 students. With classes that size, you are just a number.

At Meredith, it was more intimate and more focused on students, Moser said.
