Why come back to school?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Through my undergrad degrees, I worked the night shift as an hourly employee. I considered becoming a full-time teacher, so I got my MBA. These degrees linked me to Tech and gave me the opportunity to be an adjunct professor. The thing I love most about being an adjunct is touching the lives of our future leaders.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How has your degree helped in your profession?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

My MBA gives me more credibility as a professional leader. The program gives students the chance to visualize a situation and know how to react to it, which is useful in human resources. It helped to improve my decision-making abilities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What was the best thing about your graduate experience at TTU?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I always had this good feeling every time I walked on TTU\u2019s campus. The students, the teachers and the guidance really helped me. I didn\u2019t have time to spend walking around campus to get the information I needed. I could just call someone.
\nI was always lucky to have good groups in my courses. I still have some of those friendships.<\/p>\n
