I set out to earn a living instead of studying, but despite this choice I always wanted to fulfil my ambition to have a qualification.

I set about furthering my education, to advance my business understanding and enrich my life skills; all from the comfort of my home. That’s why I chose to study BA (Hons) Business and Management with the University of Essex Online.

My new-found knowledge and confidence have improved my career over the past four years, teaching me the ‘corporate speak’ and I feel qualified to belong to the corporate world.

My final objective on my personal development plan was for my daughter to look up to me and see me as a good example of a working mother with a growing career. Having my family at my graduation filled me with pride.

I have the flexibility to learn around my schedule and from anywhere in the world. This allowed me to secure a full-time job as a teacher while tutoring part-time.

At the time of starting the BA, I was 18 years old, and in my last year of college. It would have been really tough to access a campus-based university over an online study option.

I’m able to balance my work and study commitments effectively, while gaining insights from fellow students and tutors around the world. This has broadened my perspective on global project management practices.
