The most defining aspect of my time at CUNY SPS has to be how responsive and helpful all the staff and faculty are. There is a true desire to help you succeed. Also, the ability to collaborate with so many determined individuals at various stages of their life from various parts of the world was great… CUNY SPS has helped me see things differently. Throughout my career, I typically choose to accept things for how they were. With the tools that I learned at CUNY SPS, I realized that I should no longer just settle and instead I should yearn to continue to reach for my goals.

I run a business from home with my husband and it made sense to keep that flexibility open for our kids. This came in handy last year because it allowed for a near-seamless transition of life. I wanted to show my girls that time and age are small things and never, ever an excuse. When you want something, go for it!

After several years of navigating the job market without a degree, I realized that the simplest and best way for me to increase my career prospects would be to pursue a degree. I had always wanted to get my degree but the circumstances I found myself in earlier in life didn’t allow it. When I finally saw the opportunity to do it, I didn’t hesitate. I will also be one of the first people in my family to earn a college degree; I want to make my parents proud, and prove to myself and them that their struggle was worth it.
